Welcome Back Sunday: and corn boil will be on September 13.
Bring your memories and look toward the future! On Sept 20th, Ian Manson will lead us in the first step of a Visioning process. We will come together as a community to reflect on who we have been and envision what the future might look like. You may remember Ian from his time with us and the skill he has in encouraging discussion and then distilling conversation into the essence of what has been said. This is the first step only and no decisions will be made at the Sept. 20th gathering. If you are not able to attend but would like to send a written submission, we will share that as part of the discussion. We encourage as many people as possible, whether or not you are a regular face at church, to be involved. We will start at 3 pm and finish with a fellowship supper (details to follow, but not pot luck - we will feed you). You can contact Margie or Diane if you have questions or to submit written thoughts.
Craft and Flea Market: FHUC will be having a Craft and Flea Market on Saturday, Sept. 19th from 9 am to noon. Tables of approximately 3’ x 5’ are available at a charge of $20.00 each. If you would like to book a table, please call the office at 506-455-0988 or email us at our new email address foresth.office@gmail.com. If you know of someone who might like a table, please pass this message along to them. For more information contact Diane, Karen or Mary.
Music Director Search Team: We are looking for a third member of the Music Director hiring committee. Due to candidates taking other jobs, the search needs to be restarted this fall. The position description will be modified, but all of the other organizational pieces are already in place.

Looking for a card for a birthday, or other occasion? Handcrafted cards are available at very reasonable prices from the box at the back of the sanctuary, or on the Library Cart. These cards were handcrafted by some of the women in the church. If you can’t find the box, ask Joan Mitchell to assist you.
Broadview Subscribers: For those of you who are currently subscribed to Broadview, I need to know if you wish to continue your subscription, cost will still be $30.00 which now includes 6 issues per year. For anyone who is not currently a subscriber, there is a copy of the latest editions in the library which are available to borrow that you can make a decision as to whether you would like to sign up for your own copy. Payment will be due in the fall and I will reach out again when payment is needed. If you have questions please contact Diane at 506 459-8779 or 506 261-4025 or by email at robinsondiane47@gmail.com
