Church Leaders Luncheon on Dec. 11 at Sellersburg Christian Center was well attended by leaders and wives with approximately 25 enjoying the food and the fellowship.  Our thanks to several ladies, whom I will not name so I don’t leave anyone out,  provided us with a meal that was delicious and the table décor was lovely.  Fellowship was enjoyable and a devotional by Ray Naugle was appreciated.

The 33rd Annual Ladies Retreat will be held on 8/21-8/22 of 2026 at the Silver Heights Camp in New Albany, IN.  In 2025 we had 33 registered and maybe 2 or 3 more that did not sign in.
