Thanksgiving Baskets

Mornings are crisp, leaves are turning color, people are going to Dixon's for apples--must be Fall! Those things start making me think of hot apple cider, caramel covered apples, pumpkin pie, mmmm, and Thanksgiving! We are going to start gathering items for the food baskets that will be given to families who are in need at Thanksgiving. I know it is a bit early but... early to bed early to rise...no...the early bird gets the worm....hmmm......the early gatherer gets the turkey?! Maybe, not. Anyway, we will only be meeting for home group twice in November before Thanksgiving and this way it will allow more opportunities to bring the goodies we will include in our baskets. If you would like to donate items you can bring them to home group or give them to me anytime and I will take care of them until they are distributed.

Happy Fall!

Drama, Drama Everywhere!

There is a whole lot of drama going on---yes, at home group! We have "paused" our normal Bible study format to allow that time to be used for the adult drama group to work on the play that will be performed for the community at Christmas time. While the adult actors are rehearsing others will be working on publicity, sets, costumes, etc. The children and youth who would like to will be putting together a performance of their own for the Christmas season.

Of course, we will eat before rehearsal begins! You can check for meeting dates and lunch themes by clicking the "Norris Home Group Calendar" link in the "Helpful Links" section.

After the holidays we will get back to our regularly scheduled program.....and the adult's study of relationships.

Hope to see you all Sunday for worship!

September 13

Hello, everyone!

I hope everybody had a wonderful holiday weekend. Our family went three different directions but a good time was had by all.

It sure feels like Fall is on it's way-and I'm thrilled! Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year!

We are planning to meet this coming Sunday, September 13th. I took a very unofficial poll and Italian food won as a theme for this week. (Nicole is hoping for Chicken Alfredo...no....wait...maybe she said she is BRINGING Chicken Alfredo....hmmmmm.)

I hope everyone has a great week. I can't remember it's Tuesday already so I'm not sure how that's going to play out.:)

See you Sunday if not before!
