Chinese New Year



We look forward to seeing each one of you this weekend!  Our potluck theme is “Chinese New Year!”  If possible, bring a favorite Asian inspired dish to share....

Don’t forget that we will be preparing dinner at the Ronald McDonald House THIS Friday evening, January 29.  We will arrive at 5:00 to cook & then serve/eat dinner together at 7:00.  After consulting with the house manager at the RMH and finding out what the residents have already been served this week, we have decided on Chili (2 kinds), toppings, cornbread, dessert and lemonade.  Melia will be texting the “potluck team” with details about what to bring (sometime today).  Also, would any of you be willing to provide some dinner music?  Singing?  Playing an instrument?  Thank you!

Winter Brunch



Its hard to believe ~ but we’ve made it to the halfway mark ~ January 16!   As always, we are looking forward to seeing you & your family this weekend.  Those of you who have been away for the extended holidays have been missed!  This week, our adult Bible study group will meet as usual in the fellowship area by the fire...while our youth groups meet in the side rooms to the right & left.  Potluck theme is “Winter Brunch!”  Bring a favorite brunch dish to share....

We had a lot of fun ice skating downtown at Triangle Park on Sunday evening...missed everyone who couldn’t make it!  The temps were very chilly....but hot cocoa and heaters made it a fun event!  We even witnessed a bride and groom jump out of their limo and run around the park/ice rink area taking selfies!  Ha!

Don’t forget that we will be preparing dinner at the Ronald McDonald House on Friday evening, January 29.  We will arrive at 5:00 to cook...and serve dinner at 7:00.  More info coming on menu and music......
