Ugly Sweaters and Singing
Program Dec. 15: Hope with Pastor Lee Jenkins
Join your Roswell Rotary friends this Thursday for a special message of Hope from Pastor Lee Jenkins. It's a message we all yearn to hear as we celebrate the holidays and make plans for the new year.
Please wear your ugliest Holiday Sweater...the worst of the worst will be honored with the famed Ugliest Sweater Award. And be ready for some singing. Doesn't matter if you can sing in tune or not. It's the spirit and the joy! Hope to see you and your sweater Thursday!
