The Advent Festival provided a fun family time to help start the Advent season. Crafts, games, munchies, music, and the raising and decorating of our tree. Thanks everyone!

The monthly Fellowship luncheon was hosted this month by our Trustees. They provided pizza for all following the service. Vegetarian, ham & pineapple, and pepperoni. The Hall was packed, and filled with great conversation - a good sign of fellowship. Many thanks to the Trustees (and of course their very supportive spouses)! Great job decorating the pizza and making them all look so good and taste delicious.

The Martin Russell & Friends Christmas Concert was a great way to spend an enjoyable Saturday evening, and contribute to the Food Bank while there. The musicians were SAUCIE (Deb, Edith, Carole, Steve), Georges & Martin (vocals & choreography(?)), David (organ), Gary (piano) & Catherine (vocals), Julie (piano) & Deb (flute) & Martin (guitar), Yaldi! (Fred (violin), Edith (flute), Bob (guitar and vocals)), Peter (guitar), Ray (guitar & vocals) & Bob (guitar), Brooks & Martin, and the Coffee Cuppers. Brooks did a fine job MC'g the event. Thanks so much to all the volunteers who made it happen, and to Martin for organizing everything! And this may have been the 20th anniversary of this concert - wow! Here's some photos of just a few of the performers.

Our congregation did a wonderful job of donating items and cash for the "Christmas for the Homeless" project this season. Our PC&O group did a superb job of collecting these gifts, using the donations of cash to buy extra supplies, and then packaging all the items.

Many of the items were hand-crafted. The 8 boxes shown, packed with toques, scarves, warm socks, mittens, and toiletries will definitely be well received. Several more boxes had already been shipped to FCSS.
