Nov. and Dec.

Hello everybody! Here are the playdates and MNOs for the next two months. I'm trying to keep it lite because of all the other things that the holidays bring. Also, I'm sure a new date or two will come up that I will share as they come. Have a great holiday season and hope to see you at some of these events.

Friday Night Plans

Hey everyone! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Fall weather! I made a mistake when I sent out the first email for October play dates. The trick-or-treating on the square is FRIDAY from 3-6 pm. It is fun and several people go. If you want to meet up as a group, meet in the grassy area by Shacklett's photography on the square at 4. Then, head on over for more fun at the church at 5:30 (or when you can) for food, fellowship, and a movie or two for the kids. Just bring a dish to share, the whole family, and feel free to invite any others that would enjoy our company. We will eat in the Fellowship Hall and watch a Veggie Tale movie or two in the youth wing on the big screen!
