STILL NEED SOME VOLUNTEERS FOR RECIPE ROUNDUP which is once a month at CTR-U and begins September 21 from 5:30-6:00. It will be a recipe tasting group. The theme for September is Mexican. Three volunteers will be needed to prepare one Mexican main course, side dish and dessert recipe. You will only be asked to prepare enough for everyone to have a 2-3 bite taste – not a whole serving. Recipes will be provided for those attending. This is your chance to try that new Pinterest recipe you’ve always wanted to try!! Please contact Connie Phillips at the church office or connie.phillips@ctrtulsa.org for questions or if you’d like to volunteer.
PAINTING CLASS will be offered on September 14 during CTR-U from 5:30-6:30 in the fellowship hall. Check out the display in the narthex for details. Cost of the class is $5.00 to be collected that evening. The class is open to adults and those 6th grade students (post-confirmation) and older. Sign up today!
