Book Club
Come join us on December 17th at 7:00 pm at the home of Vi Sullivan. Our book for December will be CARNEGIE'S MAID, written by Marie Benedict. The author skillfully introduces us to Clara, a young woman who immigrates to American in the 1860s and unexpectedly becomes the maid to Andrew Carnegie's mother. Clara becomes close to Andrew Carnegie and helps to make him America's first philanthropist.
Join us every Sunday morning at 10:00 am following worship in the Fireside Room.
Everyone is invited to join the group.
The New Hampton Ministerial group has been sponsoring Advent Lunches on Wednesdays during the month of December. The final lunch will be held on Wednesday, December 18 at 11:30 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church. Enjoy soup, sandwich and dessert, followed by a brief devotion led by one of the local clergy. All in the community are invited to join us. We’ll take a free-will offering. Perhaps, you’d like to spend
your lunch hour with us!
