What’s missing?? The grand piano! We have been looking at some different options due to the challenges of keeping the grand piano in tune.  A member of the family that donated it had interest in the piano and has given it a new home.  We are grateful for the use of the piano since being in the new sanctuary and are happy that it will be used and loved going forward!  I’m exploring next steps. – Kyle Slagell

Angel Tree All Angel Tree gifts are due today. If you did not bring your gifts this morning, please connect with Cindy Hunt.

Member surveys are due today  Please place your completed survey in the member survey box next to the credenza or complete the survey online using the QR code. Thank you for your participation.

You’re invited!  We’re celebrating Christmas on December 23 at the Weatherford Transitional Living Program (WTLP).
