There will be no Fourth Sunday Luncheon in December. Instead, our Christmas Dinner will be December 12th, 7:00 pm. For those wishing to go caroling we will leave the building at 6:00 pm and come back to join in the Christmas Dinner festivities. Priscilla Circle will meet December 6th at 6:00.

Christmas Eve Candle Light Service will begin at 6:00 pm and will last for about 30 minutes. That leaves plenty of time for Santa!

United Methodist Women meet every 2nd Monday of the month. Priscilla Circle meets on the third Thursday. We appreciate all the work these two groups do. Priscilla focuses on local missions while U.M.W. focuses on global.

Priscilla Circle had a great time exchanging gifts this past Thursday.
