1 HOPE is called by God to look beyond ourselves. We walk together in faith, treasuring all people and sharing With them the love, hope and acceptance that is in Christ. June 20, 2013 Arrive a little early this Sunday morning and BYO coffee travel mugs. Thank you! Root Beer Floats Kenna and Camryn are going to Luther Point Bible Camp. How long has it been since you ve had a RBF? Our Bible Camp youth will be offering to make root beer floats for you. Join Kenna Frisch and Camryn Shea and their team of assistant float-builders for refreshments after worship this Sunday. You will have the opportunity to prayerfully and financially support the girls as they prepare for Bible camp. Those of us who have had this special camp experience know how enriching camp can be. We are excited for Camryn and Kenna and grateful for their commitment to their ongoing journey in faith. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14 (This year s Bible theme verse) 1

8 The Daytime Book Club Monday, June 24 at 12:00PM Shanghai Girls by Lisa See at St. Croix Lanes. For readers of the phenomenal bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love--a stunning new novel from Lisa See about two sisters who leave Shanghai to find new lives in 1930s Los Angeles. May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the mid-1930s, are beautiful, sophisticated, and well-educated, but their family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hoping to improve their social standing, May and Pearl s parents arrange for their daughters to marry Gold Mountain men who have come from Los Angeles to find brides. But when the sisters leave China and arrive at Angel s Island (the Ellis Island of the West)--where they are detained, interrogated, and humiliated for months--they feel the harsh reality of leaving home. And when May discovers she s pregnant the situation becomes even more desperate. The sisters make a pact that no one can ever know. A novel about two sisters, two cultures, and the struggle to find a new life in America while bound to the old, Shanghai Girls is a fresh, fascinating adventure from beloved and bestselling author Lisa See.
