November Book Club Selection: Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

Our book for November will be Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman. In Hoffman’s charming debut, Cecelia Rose (CeeCee) Honeycutt tells the story of her tragic life and the strong women who stepped in to save her. At age 12, CeeCee realizes her mother, flouncing around Willoughby, OH, in prom dresses and matching shoes, is crazy and the town’s laughingstock. Her father is never home, and nothing is going to change so CeeCee buries herself in books as an escape. But her true liberation comes after her mother’s tragic death when great-aunt Tootie sweeps CeeCee off to Savannah. There, a group of powerful, independent women offer the young girl love, laughter, and a new chance at life. Readers who enjoy strong female characters will appreciate CeeCee, a survivor despite her heartbreaking childhood, and Aunt Tootie and her friends, all of them steel magnolias…(From Library Journal)

World Community Day at Our Savior’s on Nov. 4th

Church Women United invites all women to attend the annual World Community Day at Our Saviors Lutheran Church. World Community Day relates the goals from Micah of justice and mercy to Jesus’ demand that we re-examine our own hypocrisy. Only then can action be unlocked. Past actions will inspire the women of today towards future action. We are invited to examine our approach to “unlocking action” in our communities.

Come join us on Friday, November 4th at 9:30 am. For only $5.00, you will be served a delicious meal from the superb “cooks” of OSLC; followed by a meaningful presentation on “Living Our Faith, Unlocking Action”. Reservations are appreciated so either call Esther Harman, Nancy Winberg or the church office. Bring a friend or two; we hope to see you there!
