Our Next Chapter group invites all who have ever lost a spouse, as well as those who live alone for other reasons, to join us in our next gathering. We're going to the zoo! Meet us on Oct 22 at the entrance to the Cape May County Zoo, for a little fresh air and a lot of fun fellowship!

Fall Festival Supports Hurricane Relief Efforts
The hospitality committee has decided to donate the proceeds of this year's Fall Festival to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, which is right now getting necessary aid to those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Here are some ways how you can help us increase our donation.
- Donate items for the Pet Lovers' or the Games Night raffle baskets
- sign up in the Fellowship Room to make quarts of your favorite soup to be sold
- volunteer to help serve coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the Wedgwood Room
- bake something for the bake sale table
- make some cool crafty stuff for us to sell
- collect your Attic Treasures at home and bring them into the nursery the week of Oct. 28.
We know you have been wondering what you can do to help out those who have lost so much in these disasters. We hope that while this year's festival will be great fellowship and outreach for us, it will be bigger and better than ever, in order to help those in need.
