“Great Big Beautiful Life” by Emily Henry
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least
to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.
And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret’s spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad . . . depending on who’s telling it.
Join us on June 24, 7pm, at the home of Diana Carr for discussion and refreshments.

"It's not All Downhill From Here" by Terry McMillan
Loretha Curry’s life is full. A little crowded sometimes, but full indeed. On the eve of her 68th birthday, she has a booming beauty-supply empire, a gaggle of lifelong friends, and a husband whose moves still surprise. True, she’s carrying a few more pounds than she should be, but Loretha is not one of those women who think her best days are behind her - and she’s determined to prove wrong her mother, her twin sister, and everyone else with that outdated view of aging wrong. It’s not all downhill from here.
Join us July 15, 7pm at the home of Deb Nowlan.

Little Free Pantry:
Hi.
We always seem to have so long to wait for beautiful weather. But once it is here, we enjoy every day. Thank you to those who have supported our Community Garden. It is year number 10! It is so satisfying seeing so many groups and families enjoying our little corner, not to mention the birds that have found their way there. All produce and herbs that are grown are for the pantry. I feel so blessed to be able to put fresh grown vegies and herbs in there! A lot of the flowers growing were given to me by friends or bought at my own expense. I worked at a nursery for 26 years and miss having a yard, so the church garden fulfills me in many ways. I spend a lot of time in prayer there and marvel at all of God's creations, from the little roly-polys to the squirrels that dig up my plants! Thank you God for this gift and please feel free to enjoy our garden.

Lessons from hiking
Whether I’m hiking an easier stroll or a 20-mile trek, I’ve noticed parallels to my journey with Christ.
- This is my journey. Too often I waste time comparing my stride, pace or equipment to that of fellow hikers.
- I don’t know what’s around each bend, but God does. I can’t let anxiety steal my joy.
- It’s best to balance hiking in silence with sharing the trail with friends.
- I’ll be sore tomorrow, and that’s okay. Engaging new muscles leaves a reminder that growth is uncomfortable.
- Being prepared is good; being too prepared makes for a heavy backpack. I need to do my due diligence and let God handle the rest.
- It’s not a race, so finishing quickly offers no reward. When I’m not in a hurry, I tend to notice more of God’s blessings.
- I need to look up, enjoying God’s creation as I let him determine my steps.
