Sunday night we have our annual Christmas carol play and sing along. So bring your voice and whatever musical instrument you happen to play and join us as we make a joyful noise unto the Lord. December 6 is our New Hope Christmas luncheon/potluck. The church will supply the turkey, the mashed potatoes, and the gravy we supply the rest of the meal. Please check the bulletin on Sunday for an assignment of who is bringing what by last name.

With that I will add a quick reminder that the church office is closed the week following Christmas but in an emergency please feel free to contact myself or one of the elders to
