So sorry – somehow the directions to the Shotsbergers’ home (that’s where we’ll be on Sunday) didn’t make it in the Village Post earlier today, so here they are!

• Take 123 toward Seneca from Clemson.  Go over the bridge and through one light.  At the second light (Food Lion and Palm gas station on the right), take a left onto Davis Creek Road.
• The road will go up a slight hill and then down a steep hill.  At the bottom of the hill, take a left onto Beacon Ridge Dr. into Wexford subdivision.
• Bear left at the Y intersection and follow Beacon Ridge Dr.  There will be a sharp right curve up a hill, then you’ll go downhill.
• At the bottom of the hill, take a right onto Winchester Dr.  We’re at the place where the road splits around a small sitting area.  The house has a brick front with window flower boxes.  The house number is 30254. Feel free to park in the driveway.

Hope to see you on Sunday!!

Exams are finished for most of you, we hope! If you’re going to be in town this Sunday, remember that we’re meeting at the Shotsbergers’ home (see below for directions) at 10:00am. Same time but a different place.

We won’t be meeting on 12.25 or 1.1.12, just so ya know! We will be back on 1.8, though!

Also, if you still haven’t signed up for the Women’s Retreat, email Sarah Mudder at sarahmudder@gmail.com. It only costs $20 now, but the price goes up to $25 in January. It’s going to be held here in Clemson, so you won’t have to go far away to join us. Come join us as we spend time together as sisters!

Hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a beautiful, restful break!!
Grace and peace to you…

Exam week is about to get really tasty…show up at the building at 7:30 for some pancakes made by our own beloved Church at the Heights. You have to eat, so come eat pancakes (with various delicious toppings – not just ice cream), drink coffee, and blow off some steam with us. You’ve made it to the halfway point, so CELEBRATE!!!!

Just a couple of hours til Ladies’ Christmas Craft Night!! Ladies of all ages, just come to the building with whatever craft project you are wanting to work on. We’re just going to hang out, drink some hot chocolate and do crafts together!

The Nicaragua Swing & Shag Benefit Dance is tomorrow night at 7 at the building. All funds go toward the trip, so come and dance your heart out for Nicaragua!! You can also support the team by donating items they will be taking to children and families in Nicaragua. Donations can be dropped off in the red bin in the building. Needed items are toys (safe, durable, no war themes), candy (individually wrapped), bubbles, soccer balls, Frisbees, basketballs, air pumps and needles, balloons, jump ropes, hair bows, fingernail polish, clothes and shoes for children ages 4-15, soccer (Futbol) jerseys, baseball caps, t-shirts, shorts, underwear, and pants. (If you get any items from a thrift store, please make sure they are like new as we want to give the best we can, leaving a legacy of generosity)

Lessons and Carols Sunday night at 7 at the building. We’re getting together to sing and hear Scripture read as we celebrate this season of Advent.

Exam Week Mayhem continues with Pancakes and Ice Cream at the building on Wednesday night at 7:30, followed by Game Night at 7pm on Thursday.

Sunday, December 18th: the Gathering will be at Paul and Susan Shotsberger’s home. Please see the Village Post next week for directions…

Don’t forget to sign up for the Women’s Retreat before Dec. 22 so that registration only costs $20. It goes up to $25 after that. The dates for the retreat are Jan. 27-29. It’s going to held just outside of Clemson, so you won’t have to travel far to get there!

Got all of that?? Hope you have a great weekend!! Don’t study too hard this coming week…

Grace and peace to you…

One more week of  classes?! Can you believe that the semester is already coming to a close, and we’re already right in the middle of the Advent season? Here are a few reminders for you…

Ladies’ Christmas Craft Night – next Friday night (12.9) at 7pm

ALL THINGS NICARAGUA: Nicaragua Swing/Shag Benefit Dance - next Saturday (12.10) at 7pm. All proceeds go to the team. We will also be taking up a special collection for the team this Sunday during the gathering, so if you would like to contribute, please bring some cash or a check. Have you been looking for another way to support the Nicaragua team, but can’t figure out how? Well, look no more! You can donate your acoustic guitar (in great shape or not great shape, doesn’t matter)! It will be returned to you, of course, with many thanks. Contact Sarah Mudder at sarahmudder@gmail.com.

Exam Week Mayhem begins in one week!!! We’re kicking it off with Lessons and Carols - next Sunday night (12.11) at 7pm. Then, there will be Pancakes and Ice Cream on Wednesday (because everyone needs a break in the middle of exam week), and then Game Night on Thursday night!!

Women’s Retreat (Jan. 27-29) – register before Dec. 22 and pay only $20; after that, it’s $25.

Well, I think that’s about it! Hope you made it all the way to the end of this email – there’s a lot going on that we’re excited about!!
Grace and peace…
