Food Collection Sunday

Chocolate Festival! (2027)


Did you receive a Christmas gift 
that’s not quite right for you?


Perhaps the scent, the size, the color
 will really just not do.


The Chocolate Festival Boutique Committee
 has an answer for you to give thought to;


Leave your unwanted gifts in the box in the narthex, and buy yourself something new!


Donations will be used in the Gift Boutique at the Chocolate Festival in 2027. The donation box will be available Sunday, December 28 through Sunday, January 11. Questions? Contact Pam Martin.
