A Way For Introverts to Connect

As an introvert, I have to admit—big social events can sometimes feel overwhelming. But these? These are just right. Small, intimate, and full of warmth, they make connection easy and comfortable. And trust me, you’ll want to be part of them!

First up, Honoring Our Grandmothers and Grandfathers is a breakfast gathering celebrating nostalgia, love, and the wisdom of those who came before us. Dr. Edward is co-hosting with Bob Hart and Jan Davis. Whether you have a treasured story to share or want to listen, you’ll leave feeling connected and inspired. Only eight seats are available for this one.

For the creative introverts, The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is a perfect way to bring out your whimsical side. Set in a garden with tea, scones, and mini quiche, six guests—each wearing their favorite hat—will have a chance to connect in a playful and relaxed setting.

And then, there’s Veggie Quiche & Mandala Making. The title says it all—good food, creativity, and great company.

So there you have it—three wonderful ways to connect, unwind, and enjoy.

Bidding starts Sunday, April 6th in the social hall on Sundays.

Bid early and bid high to secure your seat!

Jail Ministry Gratitude

We would like to publicly recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication of Susan Bennett, Rosalie Sulgit-Shay, and Tamarya Hulme - who have tirelessly served in our community’s jail ministry. For the past six years, these women have committed themselves to visiting incarcerated individuals every week, bringing with them compassion, hope, and spiritual guidance. Their unwavering presence has provided comfort and a sense of dignity to those who are often overlooked, offering a light in some of the darkest moments of these individuals' lives. Their work is a powerful reminder of the impact that loving-kindness, faith, and consistent support can have in transforming lives. Let us all take a moment to honor and thank them for their extraordinary service and the difference they have made in our community. Thank you.

Blast from the Past: Rediscovering Connections within Our Larger Community

Hello everyone! In today's "Blast from the Past" feature, we're exploring more than just a photo from our archives; we're diving into the heart of our larger community. This image captures a group of individuals who represent a specific community within our community. But who are they, and what special group do they belong to? As we look back, I invite you to scrutinize the photo and see if you recognize any of these faces. Each person here has played a role in shaping a particular segment of our community, contributing to its unique character and activities. The event captured in the photo also holds significance. Do you recall what this gathering was about? Were you there, and what memories do you have of it? This event and the community it represents have likely been on hiatus, especially with the challenges posed by the pandemic. However, the good news is that this is about to change, and we are gearing up to meet in person once again. For those of you who are...
