The Wonderful Wednesdays continue,

NOT at CLC!!

Join us for Wonderful Wednesdays in the fall. As always, we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner together and explore an interesting spiritual topic. Lots of fun and fellowship!!

Thanks to our 2009-10 hosts: the Ashers, Beils, Brauns, Bortzes, John & Marty Frantz, Griffins, Kerrs, Rasmussens, Selingers, and Seyfrieds. As we plan for the fall, we are exploring different ways for more folks to be able to host these fun evenings. Our numbers have been steadily growing, and, for most of us, our houses tend to stay the same size! Stay tuned for the next Wonderful Wednesday update. We will resume with a get-together in September, then a regular schedule beginning in October.
