We plan to decorate our building with honorary and memorial poinsettias. We will have sign-up sheets in the Gathering Room on Wednesday, December 4 and Sunday, December 8 for those wishing to purchase a poinsettia in honor/memory of someone. The cost is $7.00 each. Payment will be needed at the time of sign-up.
Beginning December 1, 2019, “Manna in the Morning” will no longer meet at 6am. Each Sunday in November we hosted the 6 am service for any who might desire or benefit from an early morning gathering, particularly targeting those in lines of work whose schedules are of 12-hour shifts beginning at 7am. The turnout consisted of Walnut Street members, but none who were the targeted “shift workers.” Should the need or population arise in the future to be served by an earlier worship service, the opportunity to meet that need will be addressed accordingly. Please join us at 9 am and 5 pm for worship through the month of December.
