Speaking of Giving. . . . .  

Christmas! Can you believe it? Although the stores have had their decorations up for at least a month, I’m still not ready to think about it. But, we must. We need to start planning now. As in the past PGUCC will support the Hilton/Parma area through food baskets and the Greece community by providing St. Joseph’s Villa with food for families and gifts for children/young adults.

We are asking for donations of food, gifts, and money for these projects. Since the plans have not been finalized, look to your bulletin insert for more details or contact me. I’d be especially interested if anyone has any new ideas on these projects that we hold so dear. Thanks!

The Noah’s Ark Corn Maize was AMAZING! Thanks for all who attended and all those who led the groups safely through and around the maze. We all got out with some of us having a great tour of the entire maze many times. High fives to the Zebulske who made it out of the maze first and to the Zebulskes who were the last out of the maze! The cider and donuts hit the spot after the fun in the maze! Do we try it again next year with maps????

Please mark your calendars for the Thanksgiving Breakfast on November 18th. During Sunday School we will be working as all together to start and maybe finish our mission project for the Christmas Baskets! All caring hearts and helpful hands are welcome!
