Bazaar

Thanks to everyone who helped to make our bazaar a success. I had many people tell me that our bazaar was the best church bazaar they had attended. All the hard work and contributions to the bazaar were well worth the effort. Our church and a lot of people will be blessed by the profits from our bazaar.

We still have items available from the Bazaar if anyone would like to “shop” for holiday gifts. The items are on display in the Craft Room. Please contact Bobbie Sapp or Darlene Reinhardt at if you would like to browse or purchase items.

Upcoming dates

Installation of WF officers – Sunday, January 10, 9:00 a.m. worship service
General Meeting – Monday, January 11, 7:00 p.m. in the Banquet Room
Candle Making – Monday, January 18, 8:30 a.m. until finished.

Cookbook

Please remember to turn in your recipes for the new cookbook. As you are doing your holiday baking, it would be a good time to pull out your family’s favorite recipes.

• Thanks to Circle 5 for making fruit bags, Circle 8 for hosting Candle Trimming, and Circle 6 for decorating our Christmas trees.

As your outgoing president, I would like to thank all the members of Women’s Fellowship for your help and support during the last two years. It was a pleasure to serve as your president.

Have a Merry Christmas!
