Special Event

On September 13th, a number of members attended Sunday Evening Worship with Carter and Faye. There was lots of singing led by Freddie, accompanied by Woody, Wallace and the dulcimer players-Kathleen, Helen, Bob, Ann, and Brenda who led them. There were times of reminiscing about the faithfulness of Carter and Faye to God and Mt. Hebron Wesleyan Church. There was laughter and tears when expressions were given about the acts of kindness and dedication the couple had given. Some of their youth group were there to testify about the impact Carter and Faye made on their lives back in the 1960's.

"Country Craft Day." Plans are coming along for the November 7th fund raising event. Workshops have been held and a number of items for the sale have been made such as sand dollars made into ornaments; silk scarves have been or are being decorated with colors from fruits, veggies and herbs; mesh wreaths for fall and Christmas; angels of raffia and burlap have been made, stars have been made using music pages and candle holders have been decorated. Workshops coming will be: another one to finish mesh wreaths, to make more mesh ones and to make different ones; cork reindeer ornaments, other ornaments and decorations. If YOU are available we NEED YOU at the workshops. There has been good attendance at previous workshops and the help has been much appreciated. We also need all the crafty and artistic people of church to be working on their own projects to have items ready for the big day. Just a little over two months until then. There was a donation of crocheted items made by someone that attended Mt. Hebron Wesleyan Church when she was younger. She learned about the "Country Craft Day" from Dee mentioning the day to her. Thanks Dee.

The Choir and Special Singers had a meeting with Pastor Todd to set our thoughts towards Christmas music and other music to add to worship services. More details will come.
