Come learn about Martin Luther & some of the other Reformers… and why a Reformation was needed at all!
As in years past, there will be games on the lawn, candy, prizes, hot chocolate and popcorn. Oh, and candy. Children may certainly come in costume! Admission is free.

We will have a family game night in the GCC cafe. Bring your favorite games and a snack to share.

The ladies are welcome to gather in the sanctuary to watch a movie together. Bring your own snacks if desired.

The book club meets on the first Wednesday of each month. Between meetings we will read a book and report on it when we meet again--we will each read a different book with a Christian spiritual focus. Meetings will be at 7:00 in the church library. Although your book choice may be one of your own, we encourage use of the church library. If you would like to join us, please see Les Plymale or Noel Bowling.

A ladies’ tea to be held at the home of Dale Phillips.

Each family should bring a main dish and your favorite Christmas cookies to share.  If you would like, you can bring copies of your cookie recipe to share. And, apparently, there will be vintage dances.
