NEWSLETTER FOR January & February 2012

Looking Back at November & December:

· Our neighborhood Trunk-N-Treat on October 31st was another great success with parking spaces filled by congregation members and the community coming through sipping cider, playing games and filling their bags with candy!

· Cheryl Provorse and her crew did a beautiful job cooking a delicious Thanksgiving meal for about 70 people! What a great way to kick off the holiday season!

· This year, Candy Bratcher, Beth Robertson and the rest of the church elves invited us home this year, with their Home for the Holidays Christmas décor throughout the church.

· The Women of Worth got together on December 3rd to start the Christmas season off with breakfast at the Pancake House before taking off to peruse the holiday bazaars in the neighborhood!

· We knew Candy Bratcher was talented, but her Sounds of the Season concert on December 11th was amazing! A true treat was to have her daughter and son chime in on vocals and instrumentals. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!!

· Much thanks to all the families who donated gifts to the Ryther Center. And a HUGE thank you to Haeli Tallman for organizing the event and Erv Stitz for taking the gifts to the kiddos!

· The sanctuary was beautifully adorned with fresh poinsettias this holiday season in memory of loved ones.
