WHAT SMITH CHURCH IS READING
We’ve heard from some of you that you are still trying to obtain Maxwell King’s A Good Neighbor: the Life and Work of Fred Rogers or are in the midst of reading this somewhat longer book. These factors, plus the desire to actually get together to talk about the book, have prompted us to schedule the in person conversation on Sunday, May 16th at 11:30 AM in the vestry. The feedback about the book, in one word, has been “fascinating”. Do plan to join us and share your thoughts OR join us to determine whether the book intrigues you enough to read it.

YOUTH GROUP LEADERS:
It’s never too early to work toward getting our youth groups back on track! With the pandemic parameters and life events ( births, moves ) necessitating a stepping aside by some of the valued leaders, our youth group framework was noticeably impacted this year. As we begin to move back into the world, if this is an area that you think might be of interest to you as a way to serve and become connected, please contact Rev. Donna ( 464-3529 ) or Barbara Daley ( 464-5239 ) to chat and learn more about this exciting opportunity. The Smith Church originating youth groups for our Hillsborough community have, for decades, been an important outlet for our youth and a chance to explore places and experiences near and far. Community service and lots of adventures combine to introduce our youth to life-long responsible, satisfying personal paths.
