Greetings to all!
"Abundance Orchard" is the theme of our Wednesday Evenings
Together series beginning this evening, June 10 (see below).
"Abundance" is defined as "a very large quantity of something
and plentifulness," as contrasted with "scarcity," which is defined
as "insufficient for the demand." Which of these two, abundance
or scarcity, describes our experience, view, and living of life? Which
of these two, abundance or scarcity, described Jesus' experience,
view, and living of life? If the Earth is abundant, why do some
experience scarcity? If we have experienced abundance in our
lives, what might we do to share that abundance with others? These
are some of the questions we will explore over these next three
Wednesdays together. Join us!
In memory: William "Bill" Morley, a Friend of Walnut Hill Church,
husband of Elizabeth "Libbie" Morley, died on Friday, June 5.
Services for Bill will be held in Champaign, Illinois, on June 10.
Burial in Lexington will be at a later date.

Sunday Conversations continue this Sunday, June 14, 10am,
in Trinity Hall. Conversation topics vary widely from week to
week including Bible study, theology, spirituality, and current
events. Come, enjoy a cup of coffee, join the conversation, or
just listen in.
Wednesday Evenings Together returns this evening June 10,
6pm - 7:30pm. All ages are invited to gather for a meal, program,
and evening prayer. This year's theme is "Abundance Orchard:
Where Faith Grows and Hungry People Are Fed." We will
celebrate the abundance of God's world and explore ways to share
abundance with all. This evening's meal is a simple soup, salad,
bread, and dessert.
THE BIG BLUE BARREL has been placed in Trinity Hall to receive
your donations of non-perishable food items to support God's Pantry
in sharing the abundance of God's creation with neighbors
throughout central and eastern Kentucky.
Hope Center Items: If you are traveling this summer and happen
to pick up some of those motel soaps, shampoos, etc, feel free to
bring them to Walnut Hill and place them in the Hope Center box
located in the Sanctuary foyer. Your donated items will be taken
to the Hope Center for distribution to some of our neighbors who
can use them.
In the Community: Dr. Larry Kant, former professor at Lexington
Theological Seminary, will be offering a workshop titled, "Reading
the Bible Mystically," on Sunday, June 14. Visit Mystic Scholar or
contact Dr. Kant ( dblk2@qx.net ) for more information.
Peace to all.
