HANGING OF THE GREENS – Sunday, November 23, 2008 at 3:30 p.m. – Mark your calendars now for this special event in the life of our church!  It’s always an enjoyable afternoon when we gather to prepare our church for the Advent and Christmas season!  We’ll be decorating our Chrismon tree, hanging garlands, putting the ceramic angels along the back rail, placing candles, and sprucing up the place in order to warmly welcome any visitors who might come our way during this important season of the church year!  When we finish the decorating, our GOBs will treat us to a delicious meal!  You won’t want to miss this!!  If you have any questions, please see Fran Brown or Connie Moss.
