Get started on the group's December selection: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. Told from the perspective of Klara, a solar-powered Artificial Friend, the story unfolds in a time in the near future where we see how human society has been engineered. The novel explores the nature of consciousness, what it means to be human, what it means to love. Join us via Zoom on Friday, December 2 at 7 p.m. Questions? Contact Sandy Hussey.

Join us tomorrow, November 11, at 7 p.m. to discuss I’m Your Man (2021), an unconventional and lightly humorous romance with a soft sci-fi undertone - starring Dan Stevens and Maren Eggert - in German with English subtitles. Free on Kanopy. Contact Paul Laymon with questions, or simply join via Zoom on Friday. 

This holiday season, we are again collecting new toys for families of individuals dealing with recovery from addictions. Toys for children up to age 14 will be accepted, with special thanks to those targeting the 3- to 10-year-old group. Look for the red toy box in the Outreach Donation corner on your way to the Parish Hall until December 4. 

While toys are preferred, all Outreach financial donations will also go towards this effort, so please feel free to donate online or drop a check in the collection plate. If you are interested in helping us turn financial donations into toys in early December, please contact Carol Knight.

Join us November 20 between services to learn more about how Community Action Group serves the families of those recovering from addiction. Featured speakers include Tommy Wells, the creator of Tommy's Toys, and Janice Gordon, Executive Director of CAG, with time for questions.
