HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

Please contact Jennifer Hinton if you have questions: 828-508-7019.

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary).

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

Please contact Jennifer Hinton if you have questions: 828-508-7019.

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

WHEE WEDNESDAYS will resume Jan. 16. JOY CHILDREN’S MINISTRY Today at 1pm, JOY children (neighbors and friends of children) and their families are invited to attend the Epiphany party here at church. AND we are encouraging children to come in their pajamas (Because epiphanies are dreams)! We will gather in the sanctuary for a time of singing, storytelling and meeting some wise guys! Then we will float thru stations, where we will learn the story further. From 2-3pm, we will head into a time of celebration! We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

We will have a bouncy house (Please bring a warm coat, this will be outside), popcorn, some donkeys to pet and cookies to enjoy! When the party ends at 3, we would like to encourage you to drive a different way home so kids will really connect with the Epiphany story. HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary).

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

HOSPITALITY TIME for the 11:00 a.m. service started today at 10:45 a.m. Snacks, coffee and fellowship time occur in the Gathering Room, (at the top of the stairway on your way into the sanctuary) and in the Narthex (entry in the back of sanctuary). Please sign up in the church office if you would like to help with snacks.

BOOK SWAP Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to bring a friend. When: Sunday, January 13 at noon (please bring your books earlier in the morning so that they can be sorted) Where: the large fellowship hall at Cullowhee United Methodist Church How it will work:

1. Bring your books and a finger food to share. Beverages will be provided.

2. When everyone arrives, we’ll have some time to eat, socialize, and peruse the titles.

3. Then, everyone will be given a number. We’ll choose in order for at least three rounds, and more if there is interest. After that, we’ll pack up our donations and head home- with enough reading material to read an evening away (or a whole winter season, perhaps!).

Please contact Jennifer Hinton if you have questions: 828-508-7019.
