			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>COMMUNITY SING:  The Lay Leaders of the area United Methodist churches have planned a community sing here at Sharon to join together in Christian fellowship and to celebrate our new sanctuary.  Please mark your calendar for Sunday, September 12 at 6pm and join us for some great music and worship!  Everyone is invited to bring finger foods and/or a beverage to visit afterwards in our Fellowship Hall, and as host church, we&#8217;ll provide paper products, ushers, an acolyte, sound people and a kitchen team to set-up.  (Please let Ramie Cushman know if you want to volunteer.)  Please pray that God may be glorified with the strands of music from the five churches and our community choir!</p>
