July Book Club Meeting
July 13th at 7:00 pm
House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III
In this riveting novel of almost unbearable suspense, three fragile yet determined people become dangerously entangled in a relentlessly escalating crisis. Colonel Behrani, once a wealthy man in Iran, is now a struggling immigrant willing to bet everything he has to restore his family's dignity. Kathy Nicolo is a troubled young woman whose house is all she has left, and who refuses to let her hard-won stability slip away from her. Sheriff Lester Burdon, a married man who finds himself falling in love with Kathy, becomes obsessed with helping her fight for justice.
Drawn by their competing desires to the same small house in the California hills and doomed by their tragic inability to understand one another, the three converge in an explosive collision course.

St. Luke's at Rivertown Days
We have a space reserved for St. Luke's at Jaycee Park (west of the bridge where the carnival is located). We have decided to do face painting (simple designs that anyone can do), have a display about Bible School along with sign up opportunities, brochures about St. Luke's and a box for people to put prayer requests.
We need volunteers to help set up and work the booth in shifts. Someone has also suggested that we provide rides between the church (or nearby) and the booth location to make it easier for people to sign up. Ideally, we'd like 3 people for each shift,
Rivertown Days will be held on the following days:
Friday, July 16 from 4pm to about 9pm
Saturday, July 17 from 10am to 11pm
Sunday, July 18 from 11am to 5pm
Watch for the sign-up sheets

Needful Things:
Our 1880's building requires more maintenance than newer buildings, and even our newer (1950's) addition needs constant attention. We've had some water leaks recently that even when fixed, require damage repair. We pray daily for our boiler and the air conditioner.
Please send your contributions to "Building & Grounds Fund".
Thank you
