Fall is Here: A Letter from the Moderator

 Another summer has flown by all too quickly. In my yard, leaves are already starting to fall. With the fall comes our tribute to Ladies Eighties...those women in our church who have worked to help our organization with many projects around the church and in the community. We will acknowledge these ladies on Sunday, September 16th, during the worship service as well as a luncheon following the service. Please join us for this time of fellowship and recognition!
Our Thank Offering Service will be Sunday, October 21st, during the worship service. This is traditionally when we celebrate the generosity of women so long ago to help others in need, even though they themselves didn't have much in their own lives. Their spirit of giving lives on in us today as we "pay it forward"! During Fellowship Hour, we will celebrate with a luncheon.
November 10th brings us to our biggest endeavor and fundraiser, Holiday-A-Fair. This one day event encompasses the whole church, as well as all the woman and man power we can muster! We solicit vendors to sell their wares for the day, but we need many people to help with all the other jobs and donations that are needed to make this event run smoothly. Sign-up sheets will start out in the Women's Circle Meetings in September, but will then be available during Fellowship Hours shortly thereafter. Please consider giving your time and donations...every little bit helps!
Thanks so much to those who helped us with our back-to-school donations to SHIM. We are sure it means a lot to those parents who struggle to make sure their children do well in school. In December, we will again be supporting their Angel Emporium to help deserving families and their children have a Merry Christmas! Watch for details in further Bulletins.
Also, be watching for our new Directory which will be coming out in January with complete listings for our circles and our future events.
