Care & Counsel’s Community-Building Phone Project to Resume Next Week
One way we’re staying connected with each other during the pandemic is by phone. Friends who participate in the community-building phone project agree to be randomly paired with another Friend and share weekly 30-minute phone conversations over a two-week period. We’re grateful to Don Miller who manages the random pairings.
We took a brief hiatus over the holidays and will resume next week. If you’re already participating, we’ll automatically pair you with another person. If you’d like to join in, or be taken off the list, please let Margaret Edds and Lynda Perry know by 3:00 this Sunday, January 10. Thanks!

Longtime attender, Jim Melton, has died here in Richmond. Care and Counsel Committee received a
message from his brother Ben on September 11: I'm sorry to have to let you know that Jim passed away this
evening at Brownstone, the assisted living home in which he was living. After dinner, he went upstairs to
rest and was found there a bit later. The rescue squad had been called and Bill went straight over there, but
he was gone when Bill got there.
