A Season of Awe and Wonder

As we prepare for Christmas and the season of Advent, we turn within to explore with awe, look ahead to the future with wonder and embrace the gifts which surround us everyday ...

To all the ladies of the Guild, have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for sharing your gifts of time and talent and helping to create a faith filled community full of friendships.

One last reminder before we turn the calendar ...
