Today’s service will feature special guest speaker, Helen Rivas Rose. Mostly self-directed, Helen forced herself to overcome lifelong shyness during a twenty year process, by interviewing artists for newspaper stories, giving talks and singing in public, among other activities. Then for nine years she wrote Brave, a Memoir of Overcoming Shyness, ‘itself an exercise in being comfortable with others and with myself’. (copies of the book will be available after the service.) Today she is completely free of shyness and able employ all the energy she formerly expended on being uncomfortable around people to use to enjoy people, society and life. She will share her journey with us and her thoughts on “curing shyness.” The service will be led my our Minister, The Rev. Tom Rosiello and Music Director, Mike Pfitzer
