A Very Special Thank You

The Congregational Life team would like to thank the members who made the new “wet wall” of our kitchen a reality. We love the base cabinets and countertop; they are just beautiful! We rejoice that we can use “real” dishes and silverware again because we have a sparkling new sink and two fabulous dish washers. We want you to know how much we appreciate the hours you spent installing our “wet wall”. Your gifts are very much appreciated!!!!

Don’t Sing Songs to a Heavy Heart
by: Dr. Kenneth Haugk

What do you say to people who are experiencing suffering in their lives? How do you keep from making their pain even worse? Don't Sing Songs to a Heavy Heart offers practical guidance and common-sense suggestions to help you care in ways that hurting people welcome--while avoiding pitfalls that can add to pain. Forged in the crucible of Kenneth Haugk's own suffering, the book was then shaped through careful research with thousands of others who had also known deep suffering. The result is a book that will touch your heart and help you find the words and actions that will bring God's presence and care to hurting people.
