Salem Quarterly Meeting at Seaville on June 12

All members and attenders are invited to attend Quarterly Meeting beginning at 10am.  Seaville will host a children's program from 10am-12pm with the theme being Creation.  The Creation story from Godly Play will be shared and there will be plenty of time to "create" as well.  Details on Adult program to follow soon.

Next Business Meeting is June 19

All members and attenders are asked to consider attending the next business meeting which will be the last until September.  May's meeting for business brought about the need to table decisions based on not enough people in attendance.  Also, there are financial matters regarding the new roof that need discussing.  As always there will be a potluck lunch.
