Announcements
You are invited to join your church family this evening for our annual
Christmas Caroling event. We will meet at the church at 4 pm and carpool
to local nursing homes. After caroling we will return to the church for a
light meal to begin around 6 pm. Each family should bring 1 dozen cookies.
Please feel free to join in where and when you can!
There will be a benefit concert for the Staunton/Augusta Church Relief
Association (SACRA) tomorrow evening beginning at 7:00 pm at Memorial
Baptist Church. Please see the bulletin board for more information.
Church Council will not meet this month.
All children are invited to help assemble fruit baskets while sharing a
meal next Sunday. We will then visit several people in our community to
distribute the baskets and sing for them. If your child(ren) plan to
attend please let Marlene know by today.
Please
Prayer For:
- Those who are suffering from
seasonal illnesses.
- Susan Huyard as she
deals with the effects of chemotherapy.
- Joyce Showalter as
she heals following shoulder surgery.
- BJ Rohr and Merton
Greenleaf, our friends and family dealing with cancer and its
treatment.
