March 20th! First day of Spring. It has been a cool start to Spring. I hear that the sap run has been slow. This upcoming weekend is Maine Maple Weekend, March 21st and March 22nd. We can only hope that the sap run will pick up next week. Collecting 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup is the goal. That is a lot of sap!
Here is a short list of upcoming events.
Church supper of soup, stew, chowder and chili will be served at the Methodist Church on Saturday, March 21, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. This supper is open to the public with donations to help fund a new roof for the Church.
Saturday, March 28, is the monthly dance at the American Legion Hall in Greenwood located on Gore Road. The Fossils will provide live music from 6 to 8 p.m. Donations from this dance help the Legion Hall with their finances.
On Sunday, March 22, starting at 9 a.m. Reverend Donald Coverdale will be providing pulpit supply for the Methodist Church located on Main Street. Many folks may know Don from when he was involved in the Sunday River Ministry. His message will be “Looking For Love In All the Wrong Places.” It will be interesting to see how he ties scripture into his message. This service is open to all.
I have also been reading a book titled The Women of the Bible Speak by Shannon Bream. This book tells of the Wisdom of 16 women and their lessons for today. In the month of April we will be having a book talk and sharing our thoughts on this topic. You do not have to read the book to join in or attend all the sessions. The goal is for folks to learn together and how we can apply the wisdom from the past into our lives today. This book talk is open to the Community. All are welcome!
