To help us all refine our own communications style, Paul Williams will be presenting a communications seminar before the Board Meeting on Tuesday, October 26. The subject matter being covered is Recognizing The 4 Styles Of Communication and Effective E-Mail Communication.

All members of the congregation are welcome to attend and we would love to have as many lay leaders as possible attend. The seminar will begin at 7:00PM and end at 8:00PM to allow Board members to reassemble for the 8:15PM Board Meeting.

Some have called Beth’s music folk, pop, folk-pop, country-folk, Americana, etc.

Beth prefers to say it is soulful, organic, free-range, barefoot music
delivered through a high energy communicator of joy.

…The Fort Worth Star-Telegram calls Beth “a superb singer-songwriter whose versatility discourages labeling.”

So, call it what you will, but listen with mind and heart wide open, and you may just find yourself transformed.
