The Bears have attended dance workshops in North America and Europe, dancing with many well known teachers. Marina has choreographed more than two dozen dances. In the civilian world, the Bears have been writers, teachers, and business people. Marina taught ethics and world religion for many years at Berkeley City College, and now teaches at a Tibetan Buddhist center in San Francisco. John once taught marketing and communication at the University of Iowa. Together or separately they have had more than 35 books published by major publishers on cooking, philosophy, computers, higher education, consumer-ism, and other topics. The Bears live in Berkeley, California, but spend much time in Portland, Oregon near their twin daughters and five grandchildren. Added together, they are 150 years old, healthy and vigorous, and eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to dance. Thank you! “I would like to thank everyone for letting me volunteer at the church, handling the accounts for the Senior Choir and the M & S fund, for the past 50 years. It was a pleasure to help but it’s time to let someone else take over. Thank you to council for the flowers and beautiful gift!” Gezien Brigham Card Sale The craft group will be having a card sale on TODAY, June 14th after the service. This will be the last card sale until the fall. There will be Father's Day and Grad cards as well. The last sale gave us $39.00 to give to the church so we hope to improve on that this time. Thank you for your support! SUMMER CHOIR Beginning Sunday, June 21 worship will be musically lead by our Summer Choir. This choir is open to anyone who would like to assist in worship until the regular choirs resume their duties in September. Singers are asked to be at the church by 9:30 on Sunday. We will rehearse the hymns to be sung that day, and, if there is time and sufficient numbers, we may sing a simple piece of music as a Choral Offering. Commitment is week by week – come when you are able and willing to sing. Come every Sunday, or one Sunday, or any number of Sundays in between. The choice is yours. Summer Choir will allow us the opportunity to sing a wide variety of hymns – including some that may not be as familiar as others. What a wonderful way to give musical leadership with a minimal time commitment. Come and sing praise to our Creator! For more information please contact our Music Minister, Alan Whitmore at 604-831-5669 or at [email protected]. SEEKING SUMPTUOUS SOUNDS! First United needs donations of a number of hand-held musical and percussion instruments for our Friday morning music program. If you have anything you can donate… ANYTHING from bongos to whistles to gut buckets to castanets, please call Keely at 604-318-5311. THANK YOU! Thanks to the efforts of numerous supporters who contacted the City (including the Strathcona BIA), a shiny new bike rack was installed right at the corner of Hastings and Gore, next to the Church.
