One By One by Ruth Ware
​
This contemporary psychological thriller was published in 2020. Set at a ski chalet in the French Alps near the town of St. Antoine le Lac, the story is told from the alternating perspectives of two women: Liz, a shy, lonely woman who does not fit in with the rich socialites with whom she travels, and Erin, a private woman with a scarred face and a tragic past.
​
All are welcome to participate. The glass doors at the Green Street entrance will be open for your convenience.

Union Church Cemetery Restoration Project
Left: St. Paul's Church Cemetery before cleaned in 2022. Right: Leveled, reset and repaired gravestones at sunset in Nov. 2023.
A team of twenty volunteers from this congregation and St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran in Fleetwood cleaned 500 St. Paul's Church Cemetery gravestones in summer 2022. The original church stood at this site at the western edge of town for more than 100 years and was razed in 1959. The first known burial occurred here in 1832. The cemetery continues to serve members of the Fleetwood community and beyond.
​
From spring through fall 2023, a team leveled leaning gravestones, reattached loose stones, and repaired broken stones and bases. The team is using lime-based mortars and other specialty repair products designed for historic gravestones. Most of the stones in this "old section" were quarried from plentiful limestone, aka Pennsylvania marble.
​
The project is in the final stages of completion in summer 2024.
