We will be meeting at 9:00 a.m. to decorate the Chrismon tree and decorate the church for the
Advent season. Our next meeting will be Thursday, September` 24th. We look forward to
seeing all the women of the church interested there.
Items discussed:

Rev. Laura Whitman was our guest speaker. She gave us a little background on how she received the calling into the ministry. She has been influenced by Debra and Giles in Judges. It was an interesting presentation and we got to know her more.
