Ginny Sassaman, author of Preaching Happiness: Creating a Just and Joyful World, will give a public sermon at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier called "Don't Be Shy: The Elevating Power of Accepting Generosity."

“Ginny Sassaman’s sermons . . . tell us something we probably do not know about the one experience we all long for, the Holy Grail of Holy Grails: happiness . . .” – Piero Ferrucci, author of The Power of Kindness.

Jane Dwinell, coauthor of Alzheimer’s Canyon: One Couple's Reflections on Living with Dementia, will give the worship service and will be available to answer questions about her book and experiences living through her partner’s decline from Alzheimer’s disease.
