SOUP/VISITATION DAY: OCTOBER 17, 2017

The Women's Fellowship will hold their annual Soup/Visitation Day on Tuesday, October 17. We will be making beef noodle soup and delivering a quart to the shut-ins and others in our community. We will need people to go visit and deliver the soup. We will also need names of those that are shut-in or who would appreciate a visit and a quart of soup - there will be a sign-up sheet posted on the bulletin board for you to add names. Following the visitation at approximately noon we will meet back at the church and enjoy a lunch of beef noodle soup and share with other about our visits. Please come and enjoy a day of fellowship and fun. We hope to see you there. ~Connie Martin, Women's Fellowship President
