Youth Group is going to the Corn Maze tonight:  Please meet at the church at 5:30.  The Youth Group will pay for your corn maze entrance, a hot dog, chips and a soda.  If you want more to eat, bring your own money.  Friends are welcome...but reservations are required, so that we can plan on enough drivers!  Please let Julia know if you plan on attending.

Thank you to Meals on Wheels Drivers and CROP Walkers Thanks to everyone who walked for the CROP Walk and to all who drove for Meals on Wheels!  We had a good turn-out for both
