The SJT Book Group is reading The Beginning Comes after the End, by Rebecca
Solnit, activist, historian and author of 25+ books. Discounted (-20%) copies are
available at Northshire: Ask for your UUSJT Book Group reserved copy at the front
desk, to get your discount and reader’s club points, if you’re a Northshire reader.
Copies off the shelf (under Sociology) aren’t discounted. Update: Although our last
service is September 27, we’ll have access to 624 through October. Therefore, Juliana
reserved October 4 as a tentative meeting date, giving us more time to read. If 10/4
works, great! If not, please contact Mark Long.

Kindred Spirits Songfest – September 28, themed: Peace, follows Peace Week. Tim
Wechgelaer will perform and lead our sing-along – he’s playing at Front Porch Fest
