Thank you — Melissa Gibson and Company — for a fun and fabulous Casino Night last night (3 November 2012).
A fantastic time was had by all, and a longer list of “thank you’s” is undoubtedly forthcoming, but — in the meantime — all of us who were there are incredibly grateful to Melissa and Jonathan and their crew for all their hard work.

Please join us this Saturday (9 June 2012) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our building and grounds work day
There are many ways to serve the church and to build community with other church members and friends as you serve.
One way is to come to a building and grounds work day.
Beyond the basic lawn service, all the work of our grounds is done by members and friends.
We have chores for all skill levels — even “0” skill level — inside and outside. And we always have a lot of fun. Sometimes,we have so much fun that we forget we are working!
Email Patrick Early to find out the plan for this session.
If you can’t stay and work, but want to show appreciation in the form of breakfast, snacks, or lunch for the workers, please let Patrick know that too.
