HUDSON DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY STROLL: This Friday, Dec. 1st, will be the date of the 4th annual Holiday Stroll, coordinated by Hudson downtown merchants. Between the hours of 4:00-8:00 p.m. many stores will be open with special sales, holiday activities and open houses. Our church will be open for the duration of the event. The Religious Education Committee will be selling the homemade soaps, candles and fuse bead ornaments which our kids have been making over the past few weeks. All proceeds will be divided between our church and an animal shelter. The Fellowship & Outreach Ministry will sell ornaments made by church members at the workshop on 11/19. The Fundraising Committee is sponsoring a bake sale and the Hudson Garden Club will sponsor an ornament-making workshop for families to raise money for their scholarship fund. Come join the fun!

5TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY SING-A-LONG: Our annual sing-a-long will take place during the Hudson Stroll (see above) from 5:00-6:00 in our Sanctuary. Come raise your voices in song and celebrate the holiday spirit!
