Many Thanks!
To Bill Derrickson and everyone else who worked so hard to make Delaware City's Fall Festival a success! In spite of the rain we had a steady flow of shoppers looking for bargains and goodies
from the bake table. Thanks to everyone who donated items, set up, priced items, baked things, worked on Saturday, helped publicize the event and all those other important parts of such a big undertaking!

This week!

Book Study
Our book study on "The Shack" meets at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 20 in Delaware City and at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 in Port Penn. Copies of the book are still available from Beth. Come and join us and let us know what you think about this unique work of fiction that presents the Trinity in very unusual ways!

Cantata Meeting
An organizational meeting for our proposed Community Christmas Cantata will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 21 in Delaware City. Singers and organists from other churches in both towns are planning to attend in hopes of joining our choir members in presenting a cantata on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 13. If you can sing or even hum along we would love to have you join us!
