• Reformation Sunday - October 28, 2007

  • Festive Service of Holy Communion
  • Annual Anniversary Dinner and fellowship to follow (see below).

  8:30 AM and 10:45 AM at Atonement on West Glen Ave. in the City

  • Festival services of Holy Communion led by Pastor Suarez with all the familiar music of the Reformation - with dinner following the 10:45 service (a free will offering will be collected).

  Come and bring friends. All are welcome!

• Special Note to Our Fabius Community
  

  The Fabius Community invites everyone to both the 9:00am service and the festive meal to follow.

  Bring a dish to share and come even if you can't bring something. Invite someone who has worshipped with us in the past - make it a family reunion as we celebrate our anniversary!

• Crafty Ladyes Bazaar is coming!
  
  The Crafty Ladyes are collecting your unwanted treasures that someone else is waiting to enjoy. This year we are accepting new and almost new, clean, clothes (on hangars or folded). Your treasures can be dropped off at church (downstairs, the second door to the right on the way into the Fellowship Hall). Mark your calendars now! The bazaar will be November 10, 2007.

  This year, we will have a drawing for a Vera Bradley bag (pictured here), generously donated by Linda and John Owens. To purchase a ticket, see one of the "Ladyes." Drawing will be at the bazaar on November 10.
