Pershey opens the book on all things marital. With equal parts humor and in- telligence, she speaks frankly about the challenges and consolations of modern marriage. By Faith and Love: Martin and Mabel’s Journey, by Beverley England. In 1861 a young farmer, drafted into the confederate Army, was wounded in battle and sent home to die. For two days he lay on a railway platform, begging passengers to contact his family in the hills. At last, an old slave gently loaded him into his cart. This book is the story of that soldier’s grandson. He must honor his grandfather’s rescuers. Teachers of the Soul: The Heart of God Revealed Through People with Disabilities, by David J. Gull- man. In a world that idealizes the intellectually and physically gifted, many people with disabilities are relegated to the margins of society. Dave brings this population back to the forefront and highlights the gifts they have to offer us. Bearing Witness: Stories of Martyrdom and Costly Discipleship, by Charles E Moore and Timothy Keid- erling. What does it cost to follow Jesus? For these men and women, the answer was clear. They were to give witness to Christ in the face of intense persecution, even if it cost them their lives. The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transfor- mation, by Richard Rohr. One reader’s review: “Rich- ard Rohr’s best work. I have always felt the connec- tion of the Trinity the way Richard Rohr describes, but could never put it into words. A marvelous read and I highly recommend this book. It will change your view of the Trinity and give you a deeper understanding of the Tribune God we all are called to have a place within the continuing ‘dance’ of life.” Philippians (Believers Church Bible Commentary) Both My Sons, by Ken Yoder Reed. Greenywalt, an immigrant father in colonial Pennsylvania, wants a peaceful life with his two sons, the older illegitimate one whom he loves and the younger legitimate one that he has never understood. He also knows neither son’s mother will ever permit peace in his house for the other woman and her son. What can he do? The outbreak of war only complicates things.

Wasps As you may have noticed we continue to have a prob- lem with wasps in the sanctuary. A pest control com- pany has come out and investigated the situation and determined that these wasps have built a nest some- where inside the building structure and are now coming out due to the warmer weather. “Finding the nest will be like finding a needle in a haystack” according to the pest control expert. He stated that it has to run its course so as they come out of the nest we will keep swatting them until they are gone. –Jan Oostland, Facilities Manager
