Newsletter - June 2000

Sunday, June 11, 2000
Dr. Schulman’s sermon for our June service will be "Sentimentalism." Dr. Schulman says that "’Sentimentalism’ is a grammatical term meaning excessive use of emotion. It is sort of a petty crime, using more emotion than the situation requires. But sentimentalism still is better than that cynicism that denies the great meaning of love and affection. Sometimes we are afraid of sentiment and that is a mistake."

Summer Schedule
During the summer months of June, July, and August, we meet only one Sunday each month, the 2nd Sunday: June 11, July 9, and August 13. Dr. Schulman will preach June 11 and July 9.

New Member
We are very pleased that Leonard Paul has added his name to our membership book. We look forward to his continued participation in our fellowship.
