This group holds their meetings in our Fellowship Hall. This is a great opportunity to learn about them.

Gathering Meeting called for September 13th

A Gathering meeting is called for September 13, 2008, 9-10:30 AM. We will review the points in this letter, hear from any who visited the Little Church in Honeoye (Wesleyan Church), choose a date and decide on an agenda for the Congregational meeting to present to the church council, discuss content of letter to go to congregation and draft a ballot to be used. Continue the prayers for the direction of this church. Let us listen to the voice of God.

Rally Day is September 14th

September 14th we hope to see a church full of families joining together after a summer of fun! Pot Luck dinner following the Service-Christian Ed. will supply hot dogs and hamburgers! Bring your place settings. Bring your family and friends!

Book Club meets September 22nd

The September Book Club will meet on the 22nd at 7:00. The book is Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less by Jeffrey Archer.

With a deviousness born of long practice, Harvey Metcalfe, a Boston based self-made guru of deceit, stays behind the scenes and runs a stock scam involving some bogus petroleum shares at the London Stock Exchange. After the scam folds, Harvey happily goes away a million dollars richer and leaves behind four stupefied men, the unwitting principal buyers, teetering on the edge of financial ruin.

Stephen Bradley, a visiting American professor at Oxford, chooses to get even rather than get mad and brings together the other three investors comprising of Harley Street's Dr. Robin Oakley, gallery owner Jean-Pierre Lamanns and Lord James Brigsley. They decide to turn the tables on Harvey. Combining their individual abilities and expertise, they each come up a scheme to relieve Harvey of the exact amount he robbed them of.

Roast Beef Dinner @ UMC

Our friends across the green will hold their Roast Beef dinner on Saturday, September 27th-4:00pm to 7:00pm.

Menu: Roast Beef, Baked Potato, Vegetable, Relish Tray, Homemade Breads, Rolls, Pies and Cheesecakes.
