2010 White House Christmas Ornaments

Did you miss out on getting your White House Historical Association Christmas ornament for 2010?  Or is there someone to whom you would like to give one and don't know where to get it?  If so, do not despair.  The UMW still have seven ornaments on hand and would like to sell them.  Please contact Judy M, either at church or home, if you would like to purchase one or more.

Compassion Opportunity

Katie D. has a friend, Robert, who has been diagnosed with ALS.

She asks that we offer prayers and send cards to Robert.

Contact Pastor Stephen or Katie for Robert’s address.

Do you have something to add?

Do you have an announcement that need to get out to everyone in the church? If so, please e-mail it to me (srricketts@verizon.net) and I will include it in the next

This Week at Providence-Fort Washington.
