Let’s get together over the summer! Our first summer gatherings were a success, so we’re doing it some more!  Both the Thursday afternoon coffee house and Sunday evening brewery sessions proved to be a time to socialize and have informal and open conversations about issues of faith!  Our next get-togethers are as follows: Backhouse Coffee (on 4^th St. across from the Taber Museum) at 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 14 and New Trail Brewery at 6:00 p.m. (note time change).  For the Sunday evening session, you can either eat before you come or choose to get something at the permanent on-site food truck (Real Taste Mexican).  Join us and, as always, feel free to invite friends!

THE SHAWL MINISTRY will not meet during July and August. See you in September!

SEW FINE QUILTERS Two quilt days are scheduled for this summer, Monday, July 25^th and Aug. 15^th from 9:00 am -3:00 pm in Bell Hall. Come and go as your time provides and if possible, join us for a provided lunch at noon.
