Let's chart Weavers' course for the coming year, with anticipated growth and positive involvement to spread God's Word! - Administrative Council Sunday Noon Fellowship Meal, Feb. 2 -- It would be appreciated if each family bring a main dish (consider using a crock-pot) and either a salad, dessert or bread. Please bring enough food for your family and guests too. Be sure to label all of your dishes and lids. Also, please bring your own plates/trays and cups if possible. This practices better Creation Care, as well as saves money on paper products.
