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.
