The CWF gave quilt blocks to be decorated by church members telling something about their family. Fifteen ladies went to Mississippi. Noodles were made instead of holding a bazaar. They also sold pecans.

Outreach helped 19 families with clothes and toys (57 children), and prepared 24 baskets of food, health care and cleaning products at Christmas.

A new Sunday School class was started this year, and is very successful! It’s called the “TNT” class (20’s & 30’s).

Kathern Shope retired as librarian for the church, and Martha Hoffman was named in her place.

The singing group, Resurrection, gave a program.

Fifty-four poinsettias were turned into a large tree to decorate the sanctuary for Advent.
