In the book I AM ASIAN., the readers finally can hear 50 people, 50 stories from around the world on WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ASIAN. My son, Tinson Lam, is one of the contributors, I highly recommend this Book to anyone who wants to understand Asian's perspectives on many aspects of life.   Physical copy:  https://www.asianandloud.com/collections/frontpage/products/50asianpaperback?aff=29   Ebook:  https://www.asianandloud.com/collections/frontpage/products/50peopleiamasian?aff=29   Or Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HqvEGq   Financial Parenting by Larry Burkett and Rick Osborne Larry Burkett and Rick Osborne give a historic overview to show how each change in our economy has affected the next generation. They direct parents back to the Bible to examine what God has to say about our finances and the parents' responsibilities to pass these principles on to their children. I recommend this book to ALL parents with children from K-12.     https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Financial+Parenting+by+Larry+Burkett+and+Rick+Osborne&ref=nb_sb_noss     The Trouble with Jesus by Joseph M. Stowell When Christians were caught in the midst of disasters, uncertainties, or troubles, they sometimes blamed God or did not welcome Jesus back to their lives. Stowell analyzes the problem and goes on to provide wise, practical principles for making Jesus known and welcome in our challenging days. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to build a deep relationship with Jesus.     https://www.amazon.com/s?i=aps&k=The%20Trouble%20with%20Jesus%20by%20Joseph%20M.%20Stowell&ref=nb_sb_noss&url=search-alias%3Daps           Summer Worship Our 9:35 am Summer streaming service is now open for in-person registration. Worshipers may join us in the sanctuary. Safety protocols will be followed and masks will be required.

Tech Team News   Missions Update     Father's Day/Tools of Hope:  Thank you for your generous gifts in support of Church World Service Tools of Hope Sunday.   We missed dropping those gifts into Bill Hebel's toolbox, but smile with the memory of his support of this ministry for so many years.  Hoping that next year we will be able to each pin a tool onto the bulletin board at the front of the church and remember and honor our fathers and those who acted as fathers to us one by one.          Food Pantry: The Nashua Soup Kitchen will be returning to its former hours on July 1!  Volunteers are needed to fill these new spots! Your blue apron is waiting!  We will be open from 11 to 2:45 Monday through Friday. If that is too long for you, please consider coming to volunteer for two hours, from 11 to 1 or 1 to 2:45. Now that people are choosing their own food, more volunteers are essential!  Shampoo and conditioner are much-requested items at the Soup Kitchen.  Soup supply could use some cans of Progresso-type soup that does not need to be diluted. Dried beans or lentils are appreciated by many of our New American families who do not use canned beans.  Since many of these families do not eat meat, the dried beans serve as a protein source. Our Heart of Nashua Food Assistance Ministry provides food ordered from the NH Food Bank and from USDA sources, but sometimes we shop to add variety to the choices. The photo shows a recent shopping trip. If you need food or know someone who does, please come to the Nashua Soup Kitchen.  Hours are listed below: Pantry Services at the Soup Kitchen, 2 Quincy St.: Non-perishable food boxes and fresh produce available.
