June 23 Henry David Thoreau, Summer Saint Rev. Carmen McDowell
Thoreau sings of the joy and goodness of Earth, of this now, of this moment. Carmen celebrates friendship and summertime with our Unitarian spiritual ancestor, Henry David Thoreau.
For the past seven years, a small intrepid group of volunteers led by Bill Lauman and Ron Hammond has been hard at work behind the scenes, interviewing long-time East Shore members. Transcripts of the interviews are placed in the Legacy Book, a 3-ring binder that rests on the front counter in the church office. These interviews are NOT the kind of history book you read in school; they are a rollicking ride through East Shore history, with great stories galore, told by people you probably know.
