Patty Lewis is Sisterhood president at UHC Terre Haute.
It is hard to believe September is here and the children are back in school. The weather will be changing.
Where does time go? Everything changes in life. The time will be changing and our children change.
My son and his wife are moving to Texas and my brother is moving to Texas as well. I will miss them.
Even if we know that the moves are for the best, we still wish things could stay the same. But we adjust.
Sisterhood’s meeting in May was our last until September. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy! We’ll be playing host for our annual Good Cheer Club for the Blind Dinner at noon Wednesday, July 11.
Our May meeting featured a carry-in luncheon. We had a good turnout and great food. It is always fun to sample the different dishes our members bring.
We enjoy guests at our luncheons as well. This month, Jane Weiner’s husband Don was our guest. We were happy to welcome the Weiners back to Terre Haute for the summer.
I am so sorry we have lost a beautiful woman and our friend, Estelle Corrigan, this past month.
Estelle and John Corrigan were a beautiful couple. I loved to listen to them tell how they met and how much they loved dancing.
When I think of Estelle and John as a young couple, I think of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. When I think of them now, I think of them dancing in a ballroom holding each other and gazing at each other with so much love. They both will be missed as part of our congregation.
Our religious school children learn so much from the Purim holiday. The first thing they learn is that it doesn’t always take an army to win a battle. In this case, it just took two individuals who loved the Jewish people to save them from elimination.
Bruce Black conducted Shabbat services on February 2, the Friday after Purim. I have heard the Purim story read many times but not the way Bruce told the story. I could envision every character as if watching a movie.
