This Sunday, May 3rd, Robert VanHook will be delivering his talk on “Peace” at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Hot Springs, located at the corner of Norwalk and Spring Streets. The service begins at 10:30 preceded by a social time at 10:00. This topic is in keeping with the theme for the month of May of Peace from our liturgical calendar. “Bob” is an eloquent speaker and always provides inspiration and perhaps a new perspective. His talks in the past have always been well received.

The Religious Exploration group meets at 9:00 and invite you to join them for a very interesting and informative discussion of “Destiny Disrupted, A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes”, by Tamim Ansary.

Robert “Bob” VanHook was born in El Dorado, Arkansas and attended public schools there. He is a graduate of Hendrix College and earned a Master of Divinity Degree from Duke University. Bob served as a Methodist minister from 1962 until 1979, working in churches in North Carolina and Arkansas. He has been active in community affairs in various communities, working in civic organizations and serving as a delegate to the Seventh Constitutional Convention of Arkansas. Most recently Bob has spent almost 20 years with Radio Shack primarily as a manager. After living in several cities in Arkansas, 20 years ago he moved to Hot Springs and has enjoyed life here. Bob is currently retired and enjoys some travel, his model railroad, and most of all, the company of his friends.
