Marie Snider, Facilitator . . .Books are available on loan from Orange High School; Bring your own lunch.

Cry, the Beloved Country is a beautifully told and profoundly compassionate story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son Absalom, set in the troubled and changing South Africa of the 1940s. The book is written with such keen empathy and understanding that to read it is to share fully in the gravity of the characters' situations. It both touches your heart deeply and inspires a renewed faith in the dignity of mankind. Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic tale, passionately African, timeless and universal, and beyond all, selfless. Sign up on hall bulletin board or call 967-7546 or email secretary@amityumc.org.   Flier

WEDNESDAY   Centering Prayer

Women’s Bible Study:  Wednesdays, 9:30-11 a.m., in Amity Fellowship Hall starting 9/16 – Led by Rev. Molly Shivers and Rev. Suzanne Dornsmith – Women of all ages are invited to join us for our second year beginning September 16 with a look at The Sacred Echo by Margaret Feinberg.  This study expresses the idea that God repeats messages to us in multiple ways so that we will pay attention. Childcare is provided.  Contact UUMC:  929-7191.

Centering Prayer, 5:45 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. Those who participate find contemplation makes us more aware of God, our own needs and the needs of others as we focus on the living Christ around us and inside our very minds. Prayer in silence is just as effective and worshipful as vocal praying, but requires education, training and practice. To learn more, talk to Margaret Moore, Nancy Sturdivant or Pastor Tuck Taylor.  Please join us as we share in prayer. Details and printable flier.  Return to top
