From the inventive mind of author Carolyn Bishop, Meaningless Platter Dudes: Language Transformed on a Platter of Fun is a joyous exploration of fun with language. This book of puns is a must read for those who enjoy a light-hearted and intelligent play on words. It's a great afternoon read that will compel any reader to solve Carolyn's wonderfully written word puzzles.

"The Church Is You and I "is a simple but significant Confirmation service and message. The service reflects on the meaning of Confirmation in terms of our relationship to the church. Confirmation is seen as covenant -- an affirmation of our new covenant with God and the church. That covenant calls us to service. It is this theme of service and mutual sharing that is found in the message. The church is seen as people -- not as buildings. The sermon/message is written in poetic form and may be presented in dialogue fashion using three voices or many voices.
