An invitation. We invite you to “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” on January 18th, 2025, a
potluck dinner and great evening of conversation and story-telling with your parish friends and
perhaps people at church you have not met yet.
Format- a parish family/person hosts 4-8 other parish members in their home. No one knows who
will be showing up until they arrive! The host/hostess provides 1) hors d’oeuvres, and the other 3
individuals/couples who are guests supply either 2) salad and vegetables or 3) main course
or 4) dessert. All participants supply their own alcoholic drinks. Good jokes are always
welcome!. Sign up sheets are available in the Narthex.
Let’s Celebrate
Happy Birthday!! This week to Marjorie L. and Bryan S., both on 9th December. Hope you both
had a happy day
