Thanksgiving Dinner - November 15, 2011
WOW... what a DELICIOUS Thanksgiving Dinner we all shared together! (see pictures on the right)
Special thanks to: Ms. Colleen, who always schedules the meals and coordinates volunteers to bring the food donations for all of our dinners, for donating corn, milk and butter and for coming early to help prepare and clean up this special meal; Ms. Shelly, who also came early to prepare and help clean up; to Mr. Walt for helping to clean up; Ms. Meg, who donated mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pies; Jane Lee Miller, who baked us apple pies; Joan Rigg, for stuffing and pumpkin pies.
It was a blessing to hear all of you say what you are thankful for. It was evident that most of you, and the leaders, are thankful for our youth group, for Christian fellowship, for the support of family and friends.
May all of you have a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday!!

Potato & Chili Bar Funraiser Nov. 6, 2011
Kids... you did a GREAT job setting up for our Baked Potato & Chili Bar Fundraiser during our Lock-In AND another great job in setting up and serving our church family and guests on Sunday! Thank you to all of you who were able to help in making our fundraiser a success. The proceeds will help to sponsor our weekend winter retreat at Pinebrook, February 3-5, 2012.
Check out the pictures on the right from both the Lock-In and the Potato Bar!

THANK YOU to our Forks Family who came out and supported us! There were approximately 73 attending (not counting the youth and kitchen workers), and the 100 potatoes we prepared were barely enough. We apologize that there were not enough to offer seconds this time (and for the few workers who were not able to enjoy one), but the sign up numbers were way down, BUT.. we will plan accordingly for our next Potato Bar!
We wish to thank the parents who donated toppings for the potatoes, and Ann Marryatt, Anna Marie Manness, Laurie Stott and Kathy Wills who brought the delicious pots of chili!! A special thank you to "Ms. Shelly" Rigg who helped "Ms. Glady" in the kitchen for prep and clean up, and Anna Marie Manness, Pete Dawson and Colleen Knudson who helped with clean up (and anyone else I may be forgetting to mention).
Thank you to "Ms. Meg" Carafa and Samuel Wills for being our "Spuds" this year and making the announcement to the congregation! (unfortunately I forgot to get pictures of you!)
Please pray for "Mr. Walt" Rigg who cut his thumb while helping to open a can and had to be taken to the hospital where it took 8 stitches to sew up the wound. Pray for quick healing and that it doesn't hinder his work with his Christmas Tree business!
