Sunday Afternoon Book Discussion Group - The next meeting of the Sunday Afternoon Book Discussion group will be held on today at 4:00 pm in the church house. Ann Vikner will lead the first of two discussions on The Team Of Rivals; ThePolitical Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This January 14 meeting will focus on the first section of the book, chapters 1-11, the period covering the years before the first inauguration. We invite everyone who is interested to attend these informal book discussions.
Donating chancel flowers is a wonderful way to honor someone special in your life, commemorate a special occasion (perhaps a birthday or anniversary), to say thank you, or to honor the memory of a friend or family member. The chancel flowers sit on the communion table in the chancel. The arrangement costs $40. Donations are acknowledged in the Sunday bulletin. For more information or to make a donation, contact the church office at 847 864-8332.
