Save the date for the 26th Annual FaithsTogether Observance: Pathways to Peace

This year's FaithsTogether Observance, an annual interfaith program held near the Thanksgiving holiday, will be on November 19. The prelude begins at 6:50 pm, and the program starts at 7 pm.

This year's host is the Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church at 4881 W. Panther Creek (next door to the Forum).

CBSW was a founding member of FaithsTogether and participated every year. Rabbi Goldberg will again participate in the program.

Please come and enjoy this meaningful program and reception! If you plan to attend, please bring a canned good to share with the Interfaith of The Woodlands food pantry.

Oneg: We all enjoy time to nosh with friends during Oneg after services. Will you step up to either host (provide set up, provide refreshments, and clean up) or sponsor (donate money) an Oneg? Check available dates and sign up!

Challah: Is there anything better than homemade challah? Especially when it's still warm and fragrant (are you hungry yet?!)... Well, we need bakers so we can have fresh challah each week for our members to enjoy after services. Whether you're a first-time challah baker or a veteran, we need your help! Check dates and sign up!
