Sunday Service November 6, 2016
Personal Attitude & Change
There is widespread agreement that our attitude affects/determines our life. If personal attitude affects the outcome of changes in our life, should we consider changing our attitude? Is there a role of community and higher power in an attitude change?
Worship Leader: Rev Russ Menk

The Hour of Land by Terry Tempest Williams
America's national parks are breathing spaces in a world in which such spaces are steadily disappearing, which is why more than 300 million people visit the parks each year. Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a meditation and a manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America.
We are a group of dedicated book folks who meet once a month. Please join us for lively discussions that last about an hour. For more info, call Linda Monk at 724-4089 - or just come and see for yourself.

Fellowship History Project Needs You!
As part of our 50th Anniversary Celebration, we would like to update the historical record of the Fellowship. A previous document chronicled our history from early beginnings to the mid 1980's so t
he current effort will focus on the last thirty years.
Please let me know if you have old photos or documents about the Fellowship. I will need help scanning photos and making a slide show.
We also need volunteers to write down the stories which may exist only in people's memories: past ministers, facility changes, special events, etc.
