Happy Birthday, Donnie!! 12-14

Christmas Events 2009

The Women's and Men's Xmas Events Committees have collaborated to bring a joyous Christmas celebration next weekend thanks to the Freeman family's generosity of letting us use their Fellowship Hall. All players need to be on time and ready to perform, starting Saturday morning. Shifts have been organized for the fun and fellowship and the plate will be passed for the crown pork, the golf bets, Pasadena, and the Left-Right-Center. Everyone needs to bring their own libations for communion.

Nursery provided by the 4 Bad Ants
Music provided by Edge

PRAYER GROUP STILL NEEDED....

***We've been informed that the sermon will not begin until the Prodigal Son arrives Sat. evening. He also predicts that he can make Santa's sleigh appear across the sky?

**Remember, there is limited room at the Inn for Sat. night.

Happy Birthday, Mattie!!

We can't believe you're already one!!
Can't wait to see pictures!

Gobble, Gobble, Thanksgiving is right around the corner! This is a wonderful time for us to gather together to be thankful for everything and remember the pilgrims who wore funny hats and uncomfortable shoes and shared their food with the Indians. To celebrate this great holiday, we will eat as much food as we can, partake of beverages and watch football. Sounds like the perfect day to me!

Congratulations to Sue

Our ownSue Ellen Shaw has just been elected "Library Chair of Excellence", a process that included interviews, references,and resumes of all the librarians in Ft Worth. We all knew that Sue has certainly impacted all of OUR lives when it comes to reading and literature, but this well-deserved acknowledgement clearly shows that she has greatly impacted appreciative librarians, countless students, and the school system of Fort Worth. Thanks for sharing with ALL of us Sue!!!
