More News From The Oscar Foss Memorial Library

 

The Trustees of the Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Barnstead are excited to introduce the community to our new Library Director, Sharon Archambault. Sharon lives in Lee, NH with her family and comes to us with a deep love of libraries and a heartfelt commitment to small town libraries in particular. She impressed the board with her awareness of the library as it connects to the entire community and its role as a centerpiece of a town. Sharon presented with the unique skills needed to bring our terrific library into the next stages of information sharing. “I am looking forward to meeting the residents of Barnstead. This is a very active community and I am excited to be a part of it.”  She has worked in libraries in Groveland, MA and Goffstown, NH and received her Master’s degree in Library Science from the University of Rhode Island in 2010.

 

We hope you will stop by the library and introduce yourself to Sharon. Tell her what your hopes and dreams are for the library. While you are there, remember to sign the “guest book” for our beloved retiring director, Susan Conrad. Please feel free to share a memory, story, or sentiment or just wish Susan well in the next phase of her journey.

 

So, stop by and see what’s new, what’s enduring, and why you have always loved libraries or learn why they still play a vital role in this new information age.  Be sure to “check it out”… Or, as Dr. Seuss has said, “Oh, the places we’ll go!” See you at the library!  Library hours are: Mon 2-8pm, Tues and Wed 10am-5pm, Thurs 5-8pm, Fri 2-5pm, and Sat 9-noon.

Prayer Meeting

 

“The one concern of the devil is to keep the saint from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray” (Samuel Chadwick).

 

The Center Barnstead Christian Church meets Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM to pray for the needs in our community, as well as the needs around the world. We believe whether in good times or bad we need to “come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16. 

 

Jesus wants His church to be a House of Prayer, so with that thought in mind we welcome people to come and pray with us on Wednesday evenings.  If you are unable to come but would like us to pray for you, visit our church website http://centerbarnsteadcc.org and email us your prayer request.

 

The Center Barnstead Christian Church is located on Route 126, next to the Town Hall.  For more information contact us at 269-8831.

She is survived by her daughters, Judy Collins and her husband Daniel of Milan, NH, Joyce Milligan and her husband Michael of Loudon, NH; sons, Peter Holmes and his partner Joanne Scanlon formally of Center Barnstead, David Holmes and his spouse Phillip of Weare; she was also very fond of her daughter-in-law Sally Homes.  She had 10 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.  Her family gave her so much enjoyment and she will be greatly missed.
