Our First Day School for Children meets from 10:30 to 11:15 AM so that all children can join in the last 15 minutes of the worship service.
Not to be missed
Dear Friends:
At the September monthly meeting for business, Sharon Mullally and Anne Bayless will introduce a consideration of the
relationship between our Meeting and our School.
Specifically, the question is: Given the growth of our Meeting and the parallel growth of the School and
plans for its future, how can we, the Meeting, enable the relationship between the Meeting and School to
continue to strengthen, mature, and remain spiritually sound?
We hope to emerge from this monthly meeting discussion with specific ways and processes to help us move head.
We envision this session not as a time to set goals, but to clarify our understanding of our Meeting-School
relationship and to consider what specific steps we, as a Meeting, can take in the near future.
Faithfully, Bob Dockhorn, Interim Clerk
Community book read: Sunday, September 12 from 12:30 to 2:30
Looking for a good summertime read? Try Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, by Malcolm Gladwell!
This is the next community read co-sponsored by the GSMM Outreach Committee and GSFS Parents Association.
"Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant - in the blink of an eye - that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work - in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?"
Save the date and please join us for a lively discussion on the book on Sunday, September 12, from 12:30 to 2:30 in the social room of the meetinghouse.
