Many lasting memories are made through the special annual events held by our church. Each year (unless something crazy like a pandemic happens) we look forward to the fellowship and sense of family these activities provide. For over 25 years Café Valentine has been a highlight for our seniors. They enjoy a delicious meal and musical and comedy entertainment provided by talented (or at least willing) members of the congregation. At the beginning of Advent, we hold Hanging of the Greens to decorate our church for the holidays as well as enjoy a meal and play “Jingle”. Even working together at events like our fundraiser, Lenten soup suppers, & funeral dinners brings us closer together as we work, laugh and enjoy each other’s company.
