Is Crafter's Night something you might be interested in?  Bring your craft project and "drop in" to the Crafter's Night where we work on our projects and maybe do a bit of talking, too.  If you are interested in learning the art of scrapbooking, Carrie Worthington would be glad to share her expertise.  The next meeting will be held on Friday, Nov. 22 at the church beginning at 7pm.  The cost is none to join the fun!  (NOTE:  There is not a meeting tomorrow as previously reported in What's Happening.)

Preschool Annual Thankful Dinner will take place on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 6:30 to 8pm at the church/preschool, and you're invited!  Meat and entertainment will be provided.  You are asked to bring a side dish or dessert to share.  Please call the Preschool (815-886-4356) to let them know how many are attending so we have enough seats and food for everyone.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we will be having our Annual Thanksgiving Eve Worship on Nov.27th at 7pm at the church, followed by the sharing of pies or favorite desserts.  Come join us and share in the fellowship, reminiscing of Thanksgivings gone by, and what you are thankful for.  All are welcome!

I'm wishing you peace, faith, hope, love, joy and health.  Enjoy the sunshine!
