By Tricia Kohlbeck and Pat Rock

Eight Altar Guild members enjoyed High Tea in Denny Hall on Saturday, October 10. Tricia Kohlbeck and Pat Rock hosted the tea. Those in attendance enjoyed an afternoon of fellowship and delicious treats. Many thanks to Beth Christiano for providing a wonderful pound cake for the event. After enjoying tea and refreshments, the group discussed Altar Guild needs.

On Sunday, October 11, new covers for the altar linens were blessed by The Rev. Peter Stimpson and presented to the Altar Guild co-chairs. The covers were made and donated by Halsey Dillard. We thank Halsey for her labor of love and her donation of time and talent. Following the blessing, Altar Guild members were recognized and applauded for their service.

As the end of the year approaches, plans for Advent and Christmas will be made, and a new schedule for 2016 will be developed. We would like to welcome our new member, Sudy Adams.
