Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

Do you get a piece of fruit in your Christmas Stocking? Or a box of oranges from your Aunt in Florida?  Doesn't everyone have a relative that regularly vacations in Florida who gives them a box of fruit in December?  It is clear to me that Santa has several relatives that live in Florida, because my sisters and I would receive fruit as part of our Christmas gifts every year. Citrus fruit was in everyone's Christmas stocking when I was a kid.


En Agape',

 2018 Holiday Luncheon

Thanks to the Membership Committee for all their hard work making the luncheon an awesome event. All the food was delicious, the decorations were fabulous and the fellowship was enjoyed by all. Merry Christmas!


Stewardship 2018

The 2019 offering envelopes are on the back pew in the sanctuary and are ready to be picked up.  For those who indicated interest in electronic pay on the covenant card, the only way to go that route would be to use the bill pay service through your own bank.  Those who already do this will not be receiving envelopes.

Children and youth envelopes are available in sets of twelve. Please write a name on the envelope since they are not numbered. More envelopes are available from the office.

The special offering will be received again on December 23rd.
Slash Post Office

Thanks to Michelle Weeks and friends for sorting the cards. They are available for pick up during worship services. We encourage you to make a gift to the Christmas Offering to benefit the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Virginia with the money you save on postage this Christmas.
