New Member Sunday, Membership Celebrations, & Annual Meeting
We will be welcoming new members into our church during worship as well as celebrating some major membership milestones (plus the orchestra plays, a full Sunday for sure!).
Join us after church to review a full year of ministry, vote on next year’s budget, hear what’s going on, and say “thank you” to all the volunteers who make it happen.
Please contact the office with any questions at office@churchofreading.org.
We will be reading Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny.
A rueful, funny examination of love, marriage, infidelity, and origami. Simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking, this sensational debut will appeal to fans of David Nicholls, Nick Hornby, Nora Ephron and Lorrie Moore.
FCCR’s Book Group meets every first Tuesday of the month at 7:30PM on Zoom to discuss a different book of their choosing. Email the office to be added to the email list.…

Shoppers are welcome starting at 10am Saturday morning. Plans include crafts,
household items, antiques, tools, toys, books and more. This will be an opportunity for everyone to become treasure hunters. The market will close promptly at 1pm, so allow plenty of time to check everything out.
