Calling All Readers !!
The book fellowship group, "Faith-full Readers," will read books that will help us grow in Christian faith and practice and will include a variety of subjects. The group will now meet on the Third Monday night of Sept, Oct, Nov, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and May at 7:00 PM in the church library. We will take the summer off.
It is not necessary to have gotten the whole book read in order to come be a part of the discussion. Each session is independent of others, so folks are welcome on a "come and go" basis whenever they can make it. Light refreshments are served.
Faith-full Readers Scheduled Books for September - December
(All meetings are on Monday nights at 7 PM in the church library)
Please join in the shared fellowship around the following book selections.
Our group reads to “stretch” ourselves as persons of faith, in order to better understand a variety of perspectives that may help us live more “faith-fully.” You are welcome even if you haven’t been able to finish (or even to start!) the book. The discussion just might perk your appetite for the next book!

All God’s Children Reading Program
Did you know…you can pick-up a great reading selection in the back of the Sanctuary?
The All God’s Children Reading Program is a selection of purposeful books to introduce conversations and exploration of topics such as culture, race, differences of abilities, and history for ALL AGES. Find a book that interests you, and check it out by using the sign-out sheet on the cart. Keep that book as long as you need, then return it and find a new book to explore. More books will be arriving throughout the summer, so if you don’t see a book that meets your reading level, keep checking back.
Our hope is to broaden our awareness of All God’s Children in our wonderfully diverse world!
