Successful White Elephant Sale!

    The real joy of the White Elephant Sale was the fellowship and friendship shared by all who worked together for several days.  As Martha said on Sunday, how do you measure the pleasure of time you share with one another?  How do you measure love?

    We enjoyed talking to each member who brought in donations.  We don’t always have the time to talk and share with each other on Sundays, but in this informal setting, we did have time!

The sale was a huge financial success, because you brought us your things to sell, and you bought items while you were there.  The delicious baked goods were yummy, thanks to all of our great cooks.  

If there are ways to improve the sale let us know.  Share things we could do to make this yearly sale, a time of fellowship and fun for everyone!  The men may not admit it, but I think our male workers had a blast.    Forty-two (42) members worked together in harmony for the good of the church!.  Thanks to all who donated and those who helped and of course to all who made it success by purchasing! Thank you to the many youths who also helped! Judy Harriss

Fort King Blog

Welcome! Fort King Presbyterian Church in Ocala, Florida is starting a blog. Once a week we’ll post our thoughts about what’s happening in our church family – we are involved in our community and in social justice issues. Some of the things coming up – What’s it like to plan a white elephant sale? How does a teenager who’s never had an overnight surive a mission trip to Mississippi? Stay tuned, send comments. Have a blessed day. Come back often!

The joys of cooking

Hello, My name is Lucy Tobias. I like to cook. A lot. Everyone has a power place. Mine is in the kitchen. I’m not the best at cooking for myself but cooking for other people – well, that’s exciting. Somehow Anne MacKay with the Congregational Care Committee knew this – that’s why she asked me to coordinated cooking meals for people in need – those times when people come home from the hospital or there is a death in the family or if they just need the comfort of home cooked meals. We’re pretty flexible. We get together once a month in the church kitchen, bring recipes and ingredients, cook for a few hours then freeze the results. We’re ready!

Food, fellowship, fun. Like to cook? Give us some recipes that freeze well. We’ll let you know when the next cooking session is, maybe you’ll join us in the kitchen.

Walk in peace!

Lucy
