Summer Book Club
Emmanuel women are invited to the annual summer book club hosted by Amy Fong and Christina Rawls. This year we will be reading
Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole by Susan Cain. Cain is a self-identified agnostic wrestling through the spiritual as she "explores the power of embracing sadness and longing as a path to deeper creativity, connection, and transcendence, challenging the cultural pressure for constant positivity." We use this book to deepen our understanding of religious and cultural viewpoints as well as compare how our faith might differ. The book club will meet Tuesdays in July at 7:30PM in Vienna. See the
signup on Church Center. Contact
Amy with additional questions.

Love to man (or woman) the grill? We are looking for volunteers to help out at our annual Church Picnic this summer. All you need is a passion for hot dogs and hamburgers and knowledge of how to hold tongs. Please email
Bonnie if you’re willing.
