First Meeting of Open Circle--Meet and Greet on January 4th

Announcement from Genette Heinz and Noreen Cherry:

Our Villages Rainbow Family has been blessed by Rev. Carol Chambers-Rawling's desire to minister to "family" in The Villages. Carol is presently one of the pastors at Joy MCC in Orlando, and she and her partner, Terri Rawlings, are moving to the Village of Springdale in The Villages in April. Therefore, we are going to have a greet and meet gathering at the home of Genette Heinz and Noreen Cherry to discuss such a ministry. Our goal is to have everyone meet Carol and Terri, along with Shirley & Jenn Dasher-Strader. Shirley is a clergy in training and wants to use this opportunity to complete her field training. A feasibility study has been completed and will be presented to UFMCC in the hopes that we will plant an MCC church here in The Villages in the near future. We will begin meeting for worship early in the New Year. The name we have chosen for our services is Open Circle, and we would love to have all those interested come and be a part of that circle.

DIRECTIONS TO Temple Shalom

For those of you who GPS, the address is:

13563 County Route 101, Oxford, FL 34484

If you are coming from a distance, here are detailed directions:

From either 301 or 27/441 turn on 466 towards The Villages and come into the shopping area on 466. From 27/441, you will drive on 466 a little more than 5 miles. From 301, you are almost immediately in the shopping area. At the CVS, turn north on County Route 101. Go approximately 2 miles (you will pass a dog park) and the Temple is on the right. The single door on the front will be open for your convenience.

If you are not familiar with how to get to 301 (coming from the Turnpike and Wildwood) or 27/441 (coming from Leesburg or Ocala), please email Rev. Carol and she will send you more specific directions.
