Our CANV Annual Celebration held at our church on Oct. 19, 2024, was a great success. Many thanks go out to the Conference Team for all the planning during the year and a special “Thank you” to our members, Terry Raley & Bonnie Shelton for back up kitchen help, Doug Raley for audio/video support, Carol Schellenger for worship leader, Lisa Weir for piano music, Cindy Raley for cleanup and Pastor Glen for leading us in communion. Was proud that we had the most attendance from any one church. Thanks to all who attended.

Get your baking pans out and be ready to fill our Bazaar tables with delicious goodies and our craft tables with your homemade items. Get your wallets ready too, as we have some beautiful handmade quilts for sale!! Flyers have been sent out, but please share information with your friends and neighbors. We’ll also have a special table from Samaritan Village filled with handcrafted items from Africa. We support this organization and I’m sure you’ll be delighted with their selection of items. All the funds they raise will go to support the orphanage and medical clinic. Joan will be on hand to take cash, checks and charge cards.
