Former Broadway dancer and current agoraphobic Billy Shine has not set foot outside his apartment in almost a decade. He has glimpsed his neighbors – beautiful Rayleen, lonely old Ms. Hinman, bigoted and angry Mr. Lafferty, kind-hearted Felipe and 9 year old Grace and her former addict mother Eileen. But most of them have not seen Billy. Not until Grace begins to sit outside on the front stoop for hours every day, inches from Billy’s patio. Billy makes it far enough out onto his porch to ask Grace why she doesn’t sit inside. Her answer: “If I sit inside, then nobody will know I’m in trouble. And then nobody will help me.” Her answer changes everything. To order the book and join our review, call Carolyn Shaffer or the church nd office. Review will be April 22 . PKS CORNER At the recent annual congregation meeting the following actions occurred: Proposed 2015 Budget – adopted; Proposal to move forward with Columbarium/Memorial Garden pending receipt of adequate pledges/funding – adopted; Reports of staff, committees, organizations/ministries, auditors’ report, endowment distribution – accepted/adopted.
