Sun. Aug 30, 1:00 - 2:00 PM: Installation Service Planning Meeting: We need your help!
We are so excited that Rev. Denise's Installation Service is coming up on Saturday, September 26, 2–4 PM. We need your help to prepare and participate in this service!
If you can help out, please come to the Installation Service Planning Meeting on Sunday, August 30, from 1–2 PM in the Sanctuary.
The Reception
615 Chutney will cater appetizer-style food for this event, delivered to us. The Fellowship Hall will be reorganized with a long buffet table down the center with a white tablecloth, and chairs placed around the edges of the room. Small plates will be provided. We will supplement the catered food with fruit, dessert, and drinks.

615 Chutney Order Placer: Jesse Spencer-Smith
