Welcome to as-close-as-you-can-get to December without it being December! This is a busy month for most of us, with lots of things going on in our homes, as well as plenty to participate in with church events. I hope you're able to attend several of our activities.
This Saturday is the long-awaited WOW Christmas party--The Joy of Christmas. The dinner and party begin at the Rusaw's at 6 PM. (An optional cookie exchange will begin there at 5 PM. Bring 2 dozen cookies and an extra empty tray to pile your selections on to take home.) Car pooling is heavily suggested, so if you'd like to do that, meet behind the church at 5:30. We'll leave from there no later than 5:40. (Please bring slippers/socks to wear inside.)
We're asking that everyone bring a favorite food for our dinner. Please sign up with what you'd like to bring at http://www.perfectpotluck.com/meals.php?t=FXCY2214
Wear some Christmas finery and bring a $10 present for our gift exchange. It will be a casual, relaxing evening with friends. Remember, our women's events are for those girls who are seniors in high school, and above. Your men and children will need to fend for themselves that evening!
After taking a break for Thanksgiving, our women's Bible studies will resume this Thursday. The Perk meets at 9:30 AM at the church. Nicole P. is bringing snacks, and we do have childcare available. Thursday evening at 6:30 at the church Common Grounds will meet. We don't have childcare for the night meeting, but we DO have goodies, brought to us this week by Lauren. Feel free to join us at any time!
Please remember to pray for Carol Fones, who has been in ICU at St. Vincent's with extremely high (nearly 1000!) blood sugar levels. She is doing better today with her numbers lowering to around 225, though that is still way above normal.
Thanks to those of you who looked through the Lost and Found box at church yesterday, and also checked out the dishes, etc. that have been left in the kitchen. I think you still have a chance to go through them this week, but after that they'll have somehow found their way to the Gaston Food Bank.
And a big thanks to those of you who came out Saturday morning to decorate the church for Christmas. Your help made a big difference!
Until next week,
Sherrie Ashcraft, Women's Ministry Director
