Mother-Daughter-Sister-Friend Tea
The fellowship committee cordially invites all women and girls of the church and the special ladies in their lives to attend a tea on Saturday, May 11 beginning at noon. The tea is being catered by Nancy Williams’ son, Jeff. In order to know how much food will be needed and how many tables to prepare, the committee is asking you to make reservations for you and your guest(s) by April 14. A sign-up sheet is in the foyer. Attendees are encouraged to wear their “Sunday finery” including hats. There will be no charge to attend the tea. We hope there will be a large turn-out for this event which will celebrate our relationships with the special women and girls in our lives!
