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!

We're Passing the Baton, is it to you?

We have mentioned before that we are intending to gradually scale back on bookstore duties and eventually step down completely. We are actively seeking people to help in the following areas: advertising, computer skills (Excel, Word), social media, graphic art (creative signage), special events, deep cleaning and the BIG ONE...retail management and retail buying skills. Passing the baton Yes, we wish to pass on the management of the store to new volunteers, preferably a manager and assistant manager (or perhaps a management team). In this store's management, the most important and time-consuming tasks are ordering product, input of product and managing the product. We would train and continue to advise (if necessary) to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the two basic areas of gift items and books. For a while, we wish to retain the decorating portion of managing the store. Managing the store is a HUGE responsibility, but the rewards are ten...

Meet your extraordinary Board Trustee and Treasurer, Karen Hatten.

and....Karen wears many hats in Service to our community. On most Sunday mornings she can be found greeting guest and welcoming newcomers. Thank you Karen for your love and service to our spiritual community.
