UPCOMING EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Join Us for a Cookie Exchange!
Come join in fellowship, have a cup of soup/crackers, exchange favorite Christmas cookies, and swap devotionals with each other during this holiday season. Christmas is a time for caring and sharing; this is an opportunity for you to relax and kick back.
​
Please plan to bring two dozen cookies (if your cookies contain nuts or peanut butter, please label them accordingly) to swap out with your friends. Bring an empty container to fill or nibble on what you picked out.
​
Please sign up so we can plan accordingly. Forms are available in-person at both locations.
Let's Go Christmas Caroling!
Practice your fa-la-la-la-la’s, get your bells a-jingling and find your festive sweaters! Join our UMC Kidz Club on Sunday, December 14th as they spread some holiday cheer with an afternoon of Christmas caroling! We will be singing some classic carols while visiting the residents at St. John’s Villa, Senior Suites and maybe a couple of our special ‘Keep in Touch’ friends.
We will meet at noon at Yellow Brick for a quick bite to eat- pizza and chips -and then head out to share the music of the Christmas season. Please sign up (or call the office) so we can plan for lunch and our special stops.
