Here are several things the Deacons would like the Congregation to know:

1. Beginning on Sunday, September 14th our Sunday Service will begin at 10:00 am again. 
2. Sign-up to be a Lay Reader starting in September.  The response for reading of the scriptures has been great each year and there is always room in the rotation.
3. Volunteer as a family or with a friend to do the Coffee Hour after service. Don't worry about the coffee machine or kitchen, we will help you become familiar with everything.  You supply the goodies, we supply the coffee and fellowship!

Please visit the Deacon's Bench to see who is on the Board and who to call should you need anything.  Thanks to all who helped out this past year. 

• The Bathroom Renovation project is close to completion.  Check them out if you have not already, but we hope to have the final fixtures and partitions up in September.
• Our lighting project is 99% complete!  How about those new Exit signs!
• We will not be able to paint the church exterior this year and we hope to find a solution for next Spring.
• We need new members ASAP!  I have been asking for two new members to join now and stay on for a two year term beginning next March.  Many members are at the end of their terms, so please help now so we can only fill a few spots next year.  Thank you.
  
  Key reasons to fill the committee are:
• Succession planning for our Treasurer as he fulfills his final term.  If we cannot find an internal candidate, we will need to look outside the church for an external hire.  We have the talents in our church, so please join now so we can transition smoothly and avoid increased expenses.
• I will be entering my final year as Chair in 2015, so having a full committee will make finding a new chair far easier.
• New ideas and experiences help make the committee function at a high level.

• Women's Circle Book Club - Friday, November 7th @ 6 pm - Please join us at Connie Richards' home (58 Barberry Drive) for our next book club meeting.
• The book will be "A Beginner's Guide to Acting English", a memoir by Iranian stand-up comic Shappi Khorsandi.
• Shappi's father, Hadi Khorsandi, is an Iranian poet and satirist, but during the shah's reign, his work got him into trouble with the Iranian government, so he went into exile in London.
• Shappi was 3 or 4 years old, and in the book, she relates her memories of that time as well as much of her own family history.
• Her story will make you both laugh and cry and, I hope, see another side of Iranians from what we read in the news.
• Unfortunately, the library does not have this book. But Connie and Joanne have copies to share and they can be purchased on Amazon used for $4 (including shipping), or through Barnes & Noble.  More details to come!
• Have an idea for an outing or activity?  Share it with Joanne Reitz.  Thanks!
• Burlington Land Trust trying to obtain 105 acres on Taine Mountain - Click here to learn more about the proposal and to sign up for several land walks in September.  Thank you to Bob Marsh for sharing this town news.
