ANNOUNCEMENTS
Interest has been expressed in joining the church.  If others would like to be part of a class for prospective members, see Derek or one of the Elders.  The class is designed for those considering church membership.  If you’re already a member, but still don’t have the foggiest idea what American Congregationalism is all about, come and sit in on this three- or four-session class.  Details to follow.

The cookbook is underway with several recipes shared. 
Bring your recipe cards or cookbook in and make a photo copy for Lori
 to include in the 1st edition FCC Family Cookbook.
  Let’s include not only our potluck favorites, but your own family recipes too.
