Sisters in Spirit Book Discussion Group
September 10, 2008
Did you know there is a new book discussion group for women? This interest was discovered by women who have been attending events held by Sisters In Spirit. Those interested are sharing a leadership approach, with a woman leading the discussion on the month her book choice is scheduled to be read.
Krisann Byrne-Scheri is leading the discussion on the book "The Mermaid Chair", by Sue Monk Kidd at 4:30 PM on September 10th.
If you would like to participate, please be responsible for getting your own copy of the book from the library (written or audio), from a used bookstore, or borrowed from a friend. If you have a computer you may be able to find a used copy quite cheaply on Amazon. If you own a copy, please share it. For more information, call Krisann at 524-2411.

Junior Girl Scouts Need a
Volunteer
Joyce Keyser is looking for someone to volunteer to help lead the Junior Girl Scout Troop 12042. This troop will be meeting in our church every other week. The girls are ages 9 – 12. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves children to help our young girls learn to be a productive member of society – helping them to grow by learning leadership skills, responsibility and exploring many areas of life.
The volunteer(s) would be asked to help with some planning, and attending the meeting every other week. During fall product sales and cookie sales they may be asked to assist with those areas as well.
If you would be willing to help in any way, contact Joyce Keyser (527-1873 or 524-3289).
Note on
Parking
Many
of you have noticed that the Trustees have created an area of expanded diagonal
parking on the circular drive along the west/playground side of the
church. Please do not park on the
pavement or the grass along the road coming into the church from 11A (now
called Wesley Way).
Thank you.
New
Ringers are Sought!
We hope to start a new handbell choir this year, practicing on a night other than Monday – or during the day! Experienced ringers are meeting on Monday evenings at 7:00 PM, by invitation. New ringers will have a new choir that will teach the basics of ringing, counting, music reading, and which is your right or left hand! When experience is gained, you can move into the Monday group. Please let us know your interest with the form below. Children are also welcome to the new choir.
