Fall Fellowship Event and Chili Cook-off – Just a reminder that we have a sign-up sheet in the Narthex for chili and a variety of other food items to contribute to the Fall Fellowship event on Oct 1st after the 11:00 am service. We hope to have a variety of chili for this event, so please consider signing up to bring your favorite recipe!
