Sacred Space Book Club
Saturday, May 6, at 2:00 p.m.
Location: in-person, off campus
The Sacred Space Book Club will meet Saturday, May 6th at 2pm to discuss The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris.
With candor and sympathy, debut novelist Nathan Harris creates an unforgettable cast of characters, depicting Georgia in the violent crucible of Reconstruction. Equal parts beauty and terror, as gripping as it is moving, The Sweetness of Water is an epic whose grandeur locates humanity and love amid the most harrowing circumstances. This Oprah’s Book Club pick has won several awards and promises to be rich for discussion.
All are invited!

French! Spanish!! Italian!!! With Dorsey Salerno
Are you planning a trip to Europe this summer and want to rev up your high school foreign language? Do you have a middle, or high school student who wants to go to the next level in their foreign language? Or perhaps you want to keep your brain sharp by learning a new language. I'm here for you, in French, Spanish or Italian!
I taught French and Latin for ten years in Chappaqua, New York and have been tutoring the above languages, (yes, on the telephone by face time or on Zoom) ever since. I love teaching one-on-one and I love my students. (I've been told they think the lessons are easy and fun.)
St. Paul's Church will benefit from your experience. Sign up for a package of five lessons at $10.00 a lesson (one hour), helping yourself and St. Paul's at the same time. Students new to the language receive their first book, gratis.
For further information call Dorsey Salerno at 561-676-1076.

Weird and wacky climate impacts and solutions!
In 2021, maple syrup demand spiked while production plummeted due to unusually warm conditions that year. Quebec’s “maple syrup cartel” was forced to release half of its syrup reserves…and climate change was partly to blame.
That was the first time I heard the words maple syrup, cartel, and climate change in the same place and the weirdness of that juxtaposition stuck in my head! Since then, I’ve been keeping my ears open for more strange climate news: and when you start looking, there’s a lot of it.
This week’s newsletter is dedicated to all the weird ways climate change is affecting our lives and the planet, and the even weirder and more creative solutions people are coming up with to tackle this crisis. [...]
