And hopefully stimulate discussion, sharing, and learning new things from each other.
Invite your friends!! No need to RSVP. Just come as you are and be willing to share in the discussions.

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds -- we hear a lot about the "best" food groups for health. But what about the worst ones? What foods should you be eliminating or at least cutting back on?
Research published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association looked at dietary intake and 318,000 deaths from diabetes, stroke and heart disease. In addition to not eating enough omega-3 rich seafood, nuts and seeds, two problematic factors stood out.
These deaths were associated with eating too much salt and too many processed meats. The two go hand-in-hand in sausages, hot dogs, corned beef, beef jerky, canned meat, meat sauces, lunch meats and bacon. Eating too much salty food was associated with nearly 10% of those deaths. Processed meats are a key source of salt, but so are snacks, prepared foods and even packaged vegetables, especially those canned in salt.
A separate study of 400,000 deaths related to heart and blood vessel diseases presented at an American Heart Association scientific meeting came to similar conclusions -- finding 9% of these deaths were due to too much salt. The very unhealthy trans fats were also on the dangerous foods list. Fortunately, these are being phased out of packaged foods.
But again, what you're not eating makes a difference, too. These researchers also found that not getting enough whole grains, vegetables, and nuts and seeds was detrimental, with each missing food group being linked to between 10% and 11% of the deaths.
When planning your best diet, remember that eating healthy is a balancing act -- you want to increase good foods and cut back on the bad ones to make sure that the scales tip in your favor.

Awesome Butterfly Collection by Nancy Knight
This book is a beautiful collection of butterfly pictures captured by our own Nancy Knight. This book is such a treat! A gift to our library from member Nancy Knight.
Gifts from Candace Sass
A Time to Dance by Karen Kingsbury (Women of Faith Fiction) A Time to Dance: They're the perfect couple--envied by their friends, cherished by their children, admired by their peers. But John and Abby Reynolds know they're just pretending to be happy. In fact, they're waiting for the right time to tell the kids they're going to divorce.
(continued on next page)
But at the family meeting where they plan to tell their children, Nicole shares a surprise of her
own: she's getting married. How can they spoil her joy with their announcement? They can pretend a little longer--until after the wedding. But questions begin to haunt them as the date draws nearer. What happened to the love and commitment that held them together for so long?
A Time to Embrace by Karen Kingsbury
After overcoming a crisis in their marriage, Abby and John Reynolds are experiencing a season of joy and restoration. For the first time in years they're making time to enjoy life and embrace each other. And John loves his coaching job . . . at least he did until high-school politics make him wonder if it's time to quit.
This Side of Heaven by Karen Kingsbury
Annie Warren always wanted the best for her son, Josh. But years of failure and bad choices created a heartbreaking distance that has grown far worse since the day Josh was hit by a drunk driver. Now on medical disability, Josh has put his life on hold for years, waiting for the insurance company to send a settlement that never seems to come. Worse, he believes the story of a scheming woman who claims they have a seven-year old daughter named Savannah. Despite the unlikelihood and complete lack of evidence, Josh dreams of being a father and is determined to one day claim the child.
The Chance by Karen Kingsbury
Years ago, the day before Ellie moved from Georgia to California, she and her best friend Nolan sat beneath the Spanish moss of an ancient oak tree and wrote letters to each other, sealing them in a rusty old metal box. The plan was to return eleven years later and read them in 2013, the year Nolan’s time traveling books say all the mysteries of the world will be understood.
A Thousand Tomorrows/ Just Beyond the Clouds by Karen Kingsbury
A Thousand Tomorrows (Cody Gunner Series #1) "A young couple faces the challenge of falling in love, while seemingly doomed to repeat the negative patterns they have established for most of their lives”
What’s New in the Church Library, cont’d. Just Beyond the Clouds (Cody Gunner Series #2)
#1 bestselling author Karen Kingsbury tells the heartwrenching story of Cody Gunner, a widower fighting for stability, and the woman who wants to help him trust again--even when trust is the most terrifying thing of all.
Audacious by Beth Moore
Thirty years in the making, Audacious is a deep dive into the message that has compelled Beth Moore to serve women around the globe. Glancing over the years of ministry behind her and strengthening her resolve to the call before her, she came to the realization that her vision for women was incomplete. It lacked something they were aching for. Something Jesus was longing for. Beth identifies that missing link by digging through Scripture, unearthing life experiences, and spotlighting a turning point with the capacity to infuse any life with holy passion and purpose. What was missing? Well, let's just say, it’s audacious and it's for all of us. And it's the path to the life you were born to live.

Since 1959, HCRC has hosted summer camps in North Carolina for kids seeking a refuge from the seasonal heat and a sanctuary for spiritual, mental, and physical growth. Now, as a year-around facility, the
Camp welcomes groups of all faiths to respond to a higher calling in the beautiful wooded mountains in Banner Elk. HCRC’s mission is to provide a safe and hospitable environment for guests (adults as well as youth) to experience a transformation of mind, body, and spirit as they engage in a community of faith, recognizing grace through our transcendent God, and seeking greater understanding of themselves, others, and the environment.
About 5 years ago, a plan was developed that was intended to allow HCRC to become independent of Holston Presbytery. While progress versus the plan has been made, it’s taking a little longer than anticipated for HCRC to become financially independent. While they’ve managed to cover operating costs including all staff aside from the Director, they do not have the ability to fund capital improvements (including repairs to Gunther Lodge and other existing buildings) or offer as many scholarships as they would like to provide for campers. In addition, they are having to “borrow” money from Holston Presbytery (which they must pay back) to cover the cost of the Director’s salary. Summer Camp enroll-ment numbers are looking good and the staff are working hard to evaluate options to increase use of the facilities by retreat groups which could significantly increase revenue.
One advantage of becoming independent from Holston Presbytery is HCRC is now able to conduct their own fundraising activities, including reaching out directly to churches within Holston Presbytery. A few weeks ago, Pastor Collin gave a Minute for Mission on HCRC and shared that anyone who wished to support the camp could send contributions directly to them. It’s not too late! If Camp holds a special place in your heart, and/or you want to help ensure that our camp does not end up like so many other church camps that have had to close their doors, please pick up an envelop in the Narthex and drop your contribution in the mail. Alternatively, you can donate on-line by going to holstoncenter.org where you can designate the percentage of your contribution you prefer to go towards Summer Camp financial assistance or infrastructure maintenance.
The Mission Committee thanks you for many years of generous support to Holston Camp and Retreat Center. Please keep them in your prayers as they complete this journey to financial independence.

Supplies: Tissue Paper Black Construction Paper Scissors Contact Paper Ribbon
Directions: First take your tissue paper and cut it into squares. Then using the black construction paper draw the shape of your jellyfish and then cut out the middle so that you then have a black jellyfish frame like the image above. If your child is older, they can do this step, but younger children may need help learning how to use scissors.
Cut a piece of contact paper that is larger than your jellyfish, remove the protective sheet and tape the contact paper on top of a table with the sticky side facing up. Place the black jellyfish outline down on the
sticky side of the contact paper and then you can start placing the tissue paper squares. Don’t worry about the paper going over the black lines, you’ll be cutting around that when you’re done.
Take another sheet of contact paper and place it down on top of your jellyfish to seal it, then trim around it. I left about an inch around the edges to make sure that it would stay sealed. Finally cut some decorative ribbon and tape it to the back of your jellyfish.
