Galveston Reads 2012 Discussion at FPC:
First Presbyterian Galveston is
hosting a Galveston Reads 2012 discussion of the novel Still Alice,
on Thursday, February 2, 6:00-7:30 p.m. This is FPC Galveston's
first participation in the annual Galveston Reads program.
Joan Hyatt will lead the discussion at First Presbyterian.
Still Alice, a novel by Lisa
Genova, is the story of a fifty year-old professor of neuropsychology at
Harvard University who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
The New York Times best-selling novel follows an accomplished woman slowly
losing her thoughts and memories to a harrowing disease, only to discover
that each day brings new ways of living and loving.
Besides discussions held at local churches &
other venues, Galveston Reads 2012 events in January through March
include a Professors Panel Discussion, a movie night at Texas A&M
Galveston, a photography panel at Rosenberg Library during Art Walk, a
medical forum at UTMB, and a visit to Galveston by the author to speak at
UTMB and at Galveston College. For further information,

Austin College Weekend at First Presbyterian
Galveston, February 17th - 19th:
Our congregation will be privileged that weekend to host a group of
students and faculty from Austin College, an extraordinary church-related
college in Sherman, Texas. Austin College was founded in 1849 by Daniel
Baker, then the minister of this church. AC has continued to flourish and
today is widely recognized for its academic excellence and as a college
that changes lives. Rev. Dr. David Green, pastor at First Presbyterian,
was a student at Austin College when his life was changed for the better.
On February 19th, our worship service will include participation by AC
students and the college President, Dr. Marjorie Hass.
Can you host one or more Austin College students in your home that
weekend? If you are willing, please contact the church office at
409.762.8638, email
scoggin@galvpres.net or sign up on the
sheet on the information table in Fellowship Hall.
Lisa
Velasquez's delicious recipe for.......
GRAPE SALAD
2 lbs whole grapes
1 block (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 8 oz container sour cream
½ c. white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
Mix all but grapes together well (will be a little
lumpy, that's ok). Fold in grapes until mixed and coated. Place into dish (7 x
11 works perfectly).
Mix together 1 cup brown sugar and ½ c. to 1 c.
chopped pecans (amount is up to you). Cover top of grape mixture evenly.
Refrigerate overnight.
Can also make the
night before and freeze - saves trying to keep it refrigerated or cool for a
long period.
