Food Lion Shop and Save: We have re-registered our church for 2005. We also need to re-certify everyone who wishes to continue. If you have already been registered-you can give me your 12 digit number or go on line to their website and go to re-link and do it yourself. There were 52 names in 2004- so far there are 21 for 2005.

Confirmation Class
All students in grades 6-12 who have not been through a confirmation class, please see Pastor Jonathan if you are interested. We want to have a confirmation class that will include: a weekend retreat to Junaluska, a trip to the Jewish synagogue, lessons with the pastor, and a service project. We also want each confirmand to have an adult mentor in the congregation. The whole experience will last for ten weeks in the winter/spring of 2005.
