Children's Books needed:
Southeast Ministry's Diane Harris is working with summer camps for little people and needs new and used children's books - there's a collection box in the kitchen where you can drop them off.
Looking for a Book Club?
If you are looking for a good summer book, try The Shack by William P. Young. You will be engaged by both the story and the way it re-imagines the Christian story within it. It'll make you think, and maybe ask some good questions. If you want to get a few people together to review and discuss it, let Pr. Braaten know.
Couplehood as a Spiritual Path Workshop:
“Learn a new way to talk and listen; co-create a relationship vision; uncover opportunities for emotional and spiritual growth.”
This workshop is being planned for later this year - it is for couples of all ages and status interested in enhancing their relationship. For more information: www.couplehoodasaspiritualpath.com Let us know if you're interested by contacting the office.
