Women’s Fellowship is also planning an all-church potluck on Saturday, November 12, 2022 in the Social Room beginning at 5:00 p.m. This is a celebratory potluck for the success of the Fair and it is for our entire church. All are welcome. Please join us. Last names beginning A - M, please bring a main dish to share. Last names beginning N - Z, please bring a side dish or salad to share. Desserts and beverages will be provided. We have activity sheets from our Historians, for both children and adults, which will be available at the potluck dinner. It will be a fun evening!
The kitchen was commercially cleaned in October. The new cleaning company, which was substantially less expensive than our previous vendor, did a wonderful job! The oven and stove were also thoroughly cleaned by them. Thank you, Joann S. for organizing this and making it happen.
Our next Women’s Fellowship Executive Board meeting is Friday, November 11, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. on Zoom.
Blessings,
Penny Gates and Sharon McLaughlin, Co-Presidents
