Minister's Musings
| |  Rev. Chip Wright
June, 2013
As the summer months approach I wanted to share my plan for a theme for my Sunday services next church year. As the new millennium is on us in earnest now I have been amazed at all of the varied and different spiritual approaches, many of which are new ways of addressing some of our deepest human needs.

| Saying Goodbye | |  We are saying goodbye to our Nursery Care Provider, Heidi Eberle, at the end of this month. She will not be coming back in the Fall. Even though she loves all the kids so much, she needs to spend more time with her family on Sundays.
So, thank you Heidi for your time and attention. We wish you the best and hope you will come visit us.
Heidi's last day with us is June 30th. Your child may want to have the opportunity to say goodbye.

Book Group - June 19
| |  Our Book Group meets on third Wednesdays at 7:30 in the Clara Barton Room. Members and visitors are invited to join us in lively discussions.
The selection for June 19 is Restless by William Boyd:
"Boyd's ninth novel, an absorbing historical thriller, is loosely based on the history of a covert branch of British intelligence created to coax America into the Second World War. The story unfolds on parallel tracks as Sally Gilmartin, born Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian emigree recruited into the British Secret Service in 1939, reveals her clandestine past in an autobiography that she gives to her daughter, Ruth, a graduate student and single mother living a dull civilian life in Oxford in 1976." (The New Yorker)
