Week 42 - Over the River and through the Fence

Due to the heavy snow this week and the fact that it is a holiday week, there is little action at the Fellowship.

Monday, however,  there was a whirlwind of activity inside and outside of the building as the workers tried to get as much done as possible before the snow storm came in.

Today, everything is quiet.

We still hope to be in the new sanctuary for our first service on 
Sunday, February 9, 2020.  
That, of course, depends on how many snow storms we have between now and then.

And have a Happy Thanksgiving!
