ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR JUNE 2, 2013:
NEXT SERVICE: Sunday, June 9: Thus Do We Covenant. In anticipation of the Annual Meeting to follow, this service will focus on the meaning and nature of being a covenantal (vs. a creedal) people, the meaning of membership, leadership, and professional ministry. Rev. Martha L. Munson
NEXT DROP-IN DISCUSSION: Sunday, June 9: Stupidity Theory. Two management scholars argued in their paper, "The Stupidity Theory of Organizations," that the functioning of large hierarchical organizations requires a suppression of critical intelligence. Phil Ebersole will discuss basic concepts, including functional stupidity, stupidity management, stupidity self-management and the "how could I have been so stupid" syndrome.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION:Kids ages four and older join us every week in the sanctuary for the first portion of our worship service. Children's Worship begins after the Message for All Ages. Nursery care for babies and younger children is provided throughout the service on the second floor. We also have seating in our second floor foyer, where parents can hold their little ones and listen to the service via speaker.
THE ANNUAL MEETING will be held Sunday, June 9, in the Clara Barton Lounge immediately following the service.
ANNUAL REPORTS are available in the Clara Barton Lounge.
BOOK GROUP: TODAY, in the adult lounge, at noon. The book is The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks, by Jeanne Theoharis. There is a lot more to Rosa Parks' story than her famous act of taking a seat. And there are many copies in the library. Come join us. Contact Shirley Bond at bondshirl@yahoo.com.
FOOD INGATHERING is next Sunday. Donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, and paper goods will be collected to benefit The Food Cupboard on Nester Street.
