Women's Studies -

We will have our March 23rd potluck and program in the home of Barbra Love.  We will meet for dinner at 6:00pm and have a program presented by Marilyn Kolton.  We will be discussing the book, The Art of Serenity: The Path to a Joyful Life in the Best & Worst of Times, by T. Byrum Karasu.  The book is very short and easy to read (purchase inexpensively on Amazon.com).  Marilyn states that the book offers a means of achieving “soulful happiness” by involving the soul through the love of others, love of work and love of community. Marilyn’s programs are always inspiring and thought-provoking.  This would be a great time to come and visit our gathering.  If you plan to join us, please contact the church by noon on the 23rd  Remember to let us know if you would like to carpool from our lower lot at 5:30.
