Breakfast time is 8-10 am; Lunch is 11 am – 2:00 pm.  Stop by the OUTreach booth for apple dumplings or frozen meals, breads, and desserts at the Gourmet & More booth.

The church quilting circle has again designed and created a magnificent handmade piece of practical art. Named Cabin in the Woods, the quilt is a log cabin variation. Brightly colored logs form the traditional log cabin design. The inner block, which represents the “hearth” of the cabin is a small pieced block of favorite things, including hearts, cats, trees, birds, and butterflies. Raffle tickets are now on sale and through bazaar day. Cost is $5/6 or $1/each. Drawing at 2pm, November 3 (need not be present to win).  Call the church for tickets if you are unable to attend, 765-288-9561.
