Martha Circle is wrapping up another wonderful year with a festive send-off! Join us on Monday, May 5th for a Mexican-themed potluck in honor of Cinco de Mayo -- and what a delicious way to say farewell before the summer break.
Bring a Mexican dish to share, your beverage of choice (a non-alcoholic margarita punch will be on hand), and $1 for the collection. Don't forget your calendar, we'll be signing up to host the 2026-2027 meetings, running September through May.
It's always bittersweet to close out the season, but there's no better way to do it than good food and good company. We hope to see you there!

Marilynne Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Gilead is, at its heart, a letter from a dying Congregationalist minister to his young son. It is a meditation on faith, mortality, grace, and what it means to have lived a life in service to God and community. It is also, many would argue, one of the finest works of American literature of the last century.
Rev. Sheridan Irick invites you to read it with her as the next installment of Theology Through Fiction. We'll meet in person and online May 12th, 19th, and 26th at 6pm and Sheridan will lead a discussion exploring the theological currents running through Robinson's story, and what they might stir in us. Childcare is provided.
If you've already read Gilead, this is a rare chance to go deeper. If you haven't, there's no better reason to pick it up.
