We invite you to join us for a time of fellowship and refreshment as we create wreaths and other greenery decor, origami cranes, snowflakes etc for the holidays. We welcome you to bring greens and other material to share for the projects, as well as a favorite snack if you wish. Grateful for this time together!

There will be a threshing session moderated by Carl Abbott at the Meetinghouse. Friends are urged to come and share their thoughts on the topic: “Do we want to make any changes to our current practice of having two meetings for worship on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m., one blended, the other plain?” The session will be blended (Zoom bit.ly/3K7bxut, Meeting ID: 889 2970 0043, Passcode: 960226).
