Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Hosannians, Hosannanites, Hosannites…on this Friday, we’ll be having a Potluck!  Here is the list of what each person is to bring.  Remember you only need to bring enough for your own Cell Group.  Despite the fact that we are having a form of dinner/supper, we are still starting at 8 pm.  So eat a snack or something if necessary and don’t come at 7!
