the Baptist Catholic churches) for the Church Leadership at
First Congregational Church.

again. If you or your group would like to volunteer to host
a month please call Sandy Froggett at 358-0118.
Hymn suggestion box! Want to help pick out
the hymns for service? Here’s your opportunity for input.
The hymn suggestion box is available in the narthex. Just
put the title of your favorite hymn on a slip of paper and
drop it in. The hymn committee will tally the results and
make a “favorite hymn” list. This way our hymn marker of
being a song the congregation loves to sing can be more
easily met. Thanks in advance for your help!

Meeting will be held next Sunday, October 22. A potluck
dinner will begin at Noon. A main dish and beverages will

Plan to join us for an evening of Christian

a dish to pass. Beverages and table settings will be
