Common Ground Coffeehouse
Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters, with Monica Rizzio, Saturday, June 29, 7:30pm, FUSW
Lyrically driven, the songs of Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters blend the band’s old-school country roots attitude with their shared influences of rock and folk. Amanda says “I think it’s just about life and all that that entails, including but not limited to death, strangers, birthdays, money, leaving, arriving, seasons, corruption, and love.” Listen to a sample

Caring for One Another
Every member of the congregation is asked to join the Caring Committee. Being on the committee just means signing up if needed to give a ride, make a meal, a call, etc. It is a rare but important need that we try to fill for each other when we can. Print out the sign-up form
HERE
and check off what you think you can offer. Leave it in the Caring Committee mailbox, or email or give to
Joan Livingston
or
Kay Semenza
,
who have volunteered to organize the responses and take the calls from anyone who knows of someone in need, yourself or another.
