Women's Tea

Whether you're 8 or 80, all girls and women of the CTK Community are cordially invited to the CTK Annual Women's Christmas Tea! It will take place immediately after church next week (Dec 4), so please RSVP to the Paperless Post Invitations. Don't forget to sign up for a food item you'd like to bring through the Perfect Potluck link. Instead of doing a white elephant gift exchange, we are having a book swap! Bring an unwrapped book you would like to give to someone else to read; it can be any genre (poetry, devotional, nature guide, or even a children's book). If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for set up, clean up, reading or music, please feel free to contact Martha Olson at 203-605-9898 or marthabwolson@gmail.com.
