February 18, 2011: Annual Snowbird Dinner Party
Each winter, our congregation swells, as we are joined by our loyal friends who vacation in the Myrtle Beach area to escape from their less temperate climates. These snowbirds, as we affectionately call them, participate in all of our activities and add a lot of vitality to our congregation. Each year we celebrate their participation with a potluck dinner party in their honor. This year's Snowbird party, at the home of the Stewarts, was attended by 27 people. Just as Southern Californians await the return of the swallows to Capistrano each year, so too do we now await the return of our snowbirds for the 2011-2012 season.
May 24, 2009: Church Building Dedication Service
This is now old news, but it's still good news. We filled our pews (well, OK, our chairs) to dedicate our wonderful new church building. Rev. Alex Richardson, then from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro (NC) presided. Music was provided by the choir from the Greensboro church. Lunch was served after the service. A glorious day to be sure! More pictures here.
