     A Palmyra pastor who has been involved with a Palmyra group that addresses poverty issues has written a book about his experience.
     The writings of Rev. Dave Harris, who has been involved with Palmyra Circles of Lebanon County since 2011, have been included in "The Circles Story: How Circles Can Help Your Community Find New Ways to Resolve Poverty and Thrive." The book was written by Scott C. Miller and is available through Amazon.
     Harris said he sees Circles as an approach to addressing poverty that "really works."
     "With my background as a pastor and counselor, I've seen lots of programs come 
and go.   The thing that excites me about Circles is how it brings together the good ideas already out there and adds the element of community building and intentional relationships across economic class to help those struggling financially (Circle Leaders) to become self-sufficient," he said in a news release. "I was excited to contribute my story, our community story, to the 'Circles Story.'"
     Harris is pastor of Palmyra First United Methodist Church and a member of the Palmyra Circles core team.
     An informational meeting for potential new Circle leaders will be held Monday, Nov. 3, at the Palmyra Church of the Brethren, 45 N. Chestnut St., Palmyra. Contact Lee Smedley at 610-914-3846 or lee@palmyracircles.org for more information and to reserve a place.
