Thank you, Paula Scott, for delivering an inspirational lesson in our Advent Season, entitled "The Blessings of Peace". Next Sunday, December 12th, Pam Low will be our teacher; her lesson will be "The Blessings of Waiting". Her Bible references for the lesson are: Isaiah 35:1-10, James 5:7-10, Matthew 11:2-11.
On Sunday, we acknowledged several birthdays, inlcuding those of Shari Goodwin (12/6), Noel Copeland (12/11), and Susan Leonard (12/11). Happy Birthday to each of you!
Nancy Morgan, Meredith and Richard Wansley brought treats to a seasonally decorated table, and they greeted members and visitors as they arrived. Thanks, Nancy!
Speaking of visitors, we had several. It was our pleasure to welcome Ginger Joiner, Mike Ward, Virginia Grey, Warren & Lynette Danskin, and Megan, Genevieve, & Gamerro to the class.
Ed Payton delivered a thoughtful prayer this morning following announcements, joys, and concerns.
TAKE NOTE: The Christmas Party/Auction is scheduled for this Friday, December 10th, 6:00pm for the reception with dinner following. Contact Pam Sherman directly if you have any questions. Contact Michelle Place directly if you have questions about the auction.
Ruth Giessen is looking for others to join in sponsoring a Mothers Day Tea for auction; contact her directly if you wish to join with other hosts.
I hope to see everyone on Friday evening, and then again on Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent.
