This Week at Old South Haven Presbyterian Church

  

SPECIAL  NOTE:    This SATURDAY, December 5, at 9:30 am we will  be putting up and decorating this year's Christmas tree,

We need some strong young (!) persons to erect the tree and put the lights on, and others to do the decorating, The past few years we have done this on a Sunday after Morning Worship but that interferes with choir practice time SO let's put it up a day earlier.
