ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING SUNDAY MAY 19 AT 9 AM
Please join us in the Nolt Auditorium for the annual congregational meeting. Please download the annual report below. Hard copies are available in the solarium this weekend.
In-Person Book Group
Join our in-person book group on May 20th at 1:30 p.m. in the Nolt Auditorium for a discussion of The Storied Life of A.J. Fickry by Gabriel Zevin.
A. J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over—and see
everything anew.
All are welcome to join the group to think about this interesting character.
Please contact Arlene Volk if you have any questions.
