EYEGLASSES NEEDED:  MOST Ministries will be taking a Mission Trip to Nicaragua next June.  The people there have a great need for eyeglasses - adult, children, non-prescription sunglasses, and over-the-counter reading glasses.  Glasses cases would also be appreciated.  Jean Voelker has put a box in the narthex for this collection and will see that the glasses get to someone going on this trip.  Your donations will bring sight!

 

CHURCH HISTORY:  In January of 1932, the interior of the church was re-decorated.  It was colorful, with strips 4-5 feet wide that were panels of different shades of blues and roses. There were designs that started at the top of the windows.  At the center of the ceiling, floral and leaf designs criss-crossed.  There was also a border that was chair rail height.  There werefour bowl lights suspended from the ceiling.  Those lights have since been replaced.

ADVENT BY CANDLELIGHT is an opportunity for adults (confirmed and older) of the congregation to set aside the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations and focus on the birth of Christ.  It will be held on Sunday, November 29, at 6:30 PM.  The evening will include readings, a variety of music, and desserts.  This will be an elegant, relaxing evening of friendship and preparation for the true meaning of Christmas.  Reservations are needed, but the event is free.  Sign-up will be held Nov. 1-Nov. 22.
