Events
Midweek Study
1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th Wednesdays
7-8P
Fellowship Hall
This week Wednesday, July 24 we conclude our series on the Second Reading for the coming Sunday.
We begin our new "Book Club" on August 7. We will study books that help us to deepen our faith and how to put it into action in ministry to our community and the world.
The first book is What if GOD Wrote Your Bucket List? by Jay Payleitner. We chose this book because it should be easy and fun to start our "club" with and next time will get into a deeper book.
We will read four chapters a week and then gather for coffee and conversation every 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th Wednesdays. The chapters are very short and this will last us for 13 weeks.
Wednesday, August 31 will serve as the transition to the new format and to get us started on the new book. Participants are asked to start thinking about their bucket list in general and about the more traditional things that you have on your bucket list, things you want to see or to do. We'll share them with each other on the 31st to prepare for our journey.
A sweet will be proved to enjoy with coffee. See Deb Rosenberg if you would like to purchase a book through her.
