As a “thank you” to the ERUUF community, AAS-C is catering a reception for us on Sunday, December 1 in the Fellowship Hall after the 11:15 service: all are welcome. Assorted appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, desserts and beverages will be served.

We are also exploring the possibility of partnering with:
