REVIEWS
“A feel-good story in the spirit of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand, Fredrik Backman’s novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others. “If there was an award for ‘Most Charming Book of the Year,’ this first novel by a Swedish blogger-turned-overnight-sensation would win hands down.”
(Booklist, starred review)
In this “charming debut” (People Magazine) from one of Sweden’s most successful authors, a grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door.

Thank you to The Algonquin Middle School Band for a lovely concert and thank you to everyone who came out for the concert and dinner!

In 1903 our church built a carriage shed to park the horse and wagons. It was used as such until the automobile found its way to the mountain. This is now our pavilion which we use for our festival and other events. In 1981 we closed the front of the building towards the road and opened it in the back, so people did not have to enter by the road. In the Spring of 1999, we voted to move the building back off the road and move one end of the building to the backside of the building and made this into a kitchen. At that time, we painted the tin roof. No one remembers when the present metal roof was put on, but it is in desperate need of replacement. As it is now leaking, and the wood underneath is rotting.
We are conducting a Capital Campaign in hope of raising most funds to cover this major expense which is just under $65,000.
Your generous donations will contribute to helping us keep the history of this building alive that we have cherished stories and memories of. We need the support of not only our members, but also the benevolence of our community businesses and individuals.
Your ongoing support of the mission of Zion's United Church of Christ is deeply appreciated. Our Capital Campaign Committee is accepting donations in several ways. Monetary (tax deductible) donations can be made by check payable to Zion's UCC. Please write "Capital Campaign Fund" in the memo section of the check and send to:
Zion's United Church of Christ of Taborton, 741 Taborton Rd, Sand Lake, NY 12153
Donations can also be made by clicking on the To donate button at the top of this page.
