Friday, June 26 — Fiction Fun! Reads Richard Powers, Bewilderment (2021)
Early Discussion from 6:30 p.m., Book Discussion from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. in the Guild Room. This novel followed The Overstory, which we’ve read. Here’s how the Booker Prize committee described it: “An astrobiologist thinks of a creative way to help his rare and troubled son in Richard Powers’ deeply moving and brilliantly original novel.” As a New Yorker summary notes, the son “undergoes an experimental neurofeedback therapy that can imprint other people’s emotions—including his mother’s—onto him. Before long, the treatment transforms Robin into an almost oracular figure, a social-media activist devoted to protecting the earth against mankind.” Bewilderment sustains Powers’ environmental concerns in a strongly emotional work.
Saturday, June 27 — All Parish Dance Party!

“My job has never been just a job. I’ve loved the work, loved the place, and loved the people I’ve worked with, and I have loved being able to serve the congregation – it has all been worship for me. There have been times when I couldn’t tell if my cameras were in focus because my eyes had suddenly misted over with the power of the music, the preaching — or the recognition of a parishioner who had brought heaven to earth by helping those in need out beyond our doors.” ~ —Keith Holeman
Join us in honoring Keith and celebrating his well-deserved retirement! Please stick around after the 10:00 a.m. service for festive food, fellowship, and fun.
