quart bag. Proceeds go to the
Honduras Mission Trip.
Are you in need of a wedding gift, a welcome to
your new home gift, or just an update to your
bowl collection? We have some great handmade
bowls that were made by Jim Keeling for a dinner we had a while
back. I will have them for sale on Wednesday night during WNT
for the next two weeks. They will be $7.00 per bowl.
Rainbow Bells Norma Adams has donated sets of “Rainbow Bells” for our children’s program. We would love to start a Children’s “handbell” program by starting with our children who are 3years and older. They must know colors. We will need several children in order to make it work, so please notify us if you are interested in having your child or children participate in this fun activity. They will also learn to love music and to work as a team. If you would like to learn more, call Chris Norton at 731 885-0087. We have some really nice music to work on, and it would be good to have them participating in Church activities.
