Fall Fair, November 6, 2010 - JAMS, JELLIES, AND PRESERVES

This message is for everyone! The local produce is in the markets NOW! Members of this congregation are great at pickling and bottling jams and jellies, and right now the ingredients are at their best from the local farmers. Please help to fill this JAMS, JELLIES, AND PRESERVES stall with the summer produce turned into delicious "confiture".  

Stewardship Moment:  None of us leaves this life without having given everything away - to someone, somewhere. The only question for us is this: to whom do we want to bequeath the wealth God has entrusted to us? Doug Conlan, Gift Planner

We greatly appreciate the volunteer choristers and occasional soloists who provide us with high quality music during the summer months while our hard-working regular choristers take a well-deserved vacation. Our student singers also need to return home to be with family and work at summer jobs so they can return to university.  We eagerly await their return.
