Record-keeping Help Needed: Calling ALL Committee Chairs

Council and committee reports/minutes are to be filed in the office. While this appears to have been sporadic in the past, we need to get back to doing this on a regular basis. Please submit all minutes/reports from any meetings in 2022 to Joyce Reives for compilation. At some point, we might tackle the past. But, for now, the present seems like a good place to start. Please provide minutes either electronically or hard-copy by the end of May.

Announcements

Anam Cara Contemplative Circle

After experimenting with different formats a couple times last year, my friends Colleen Rose and Andrea Keller and I have decided to offer a monthly contemplative circle. We’re calling it an Anam Cara Contemplative Circle – Anam
Cara means soul friend in the Celtic language. We will meet on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Church of the Brethren. Each time will include a period of listening to Colleen play the singing bowls, followed by an
exploration of a poem or reading around a particular theme, and then time for personal reflection and sharing in small groups.

Due to Easter being on the third Sunday in April, there is a change in the schedule, Contemplative Circle for Sunday, April 24th will be held at AnamaCara Circle – 6:30-8 p.m. @ Church of the Brethren
