Nothing Like Home!

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home." A famous quote from a very famous movie. Loved by big kids and small. And a statement that rang very true today for many. We had an incredible turn-out today for homecoming. It was a delight to see those familiar faces. It was also wonderful to see our former pastor and his family as well. Homecoming has always been one of my favorite events at church. And before I forget, hats off to those that helped decorate the fellowship in preparation for today. It was absolutely beautiful! Many thanks to those that lended a hand, from those that serve on the fellowship committee, to those that helped out just to be helping (especially those young men who helped so willingly). It is very appreciated!! Did I mention how wonderful the food was??!! Scrumptous. The desserts were delightful!!

The XYZ will have their Thanksgiving banquet this Friday night, Nov. 10th at 6:30pm in the fellowship hall. A meal will be provided. The Dixie Dewdrops will be performing as well. Come join in a wonderful time of food and fellowship.

Don't forget to bring your donations for the West Virginia Christmas Program along with your donations for school supplies (to help local schools) and canned goods (to assist those in need in our community).

If you are part of the Instrumental Group, please remember to meet in the sanctuary next Sunday morning (Nov. 12th) at 9am. We look forward to hearing the beautiful music you play!

Now is the time for you to join the Adult Choir. We have started rehearsing the Christmas cantata. Even if you only participate for the Christmas season, it will give you the opportunity to see if this is something you wish to continue. Join us. We'd love to see you there!

I think that covers all I have for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
