Tuesday Noon Book Group

Tuesdays at 12:00 PM on Zoom

Next Study:
 "Love is the Way: Holding onto Hope in Troubling Times" by Bishop Michael Curry
Begins: Tuesday, April 19


The group is very excited to read and discuss Bishop Curry's book. In this book, Rev. Curry expands on his message of hope in an inspirational road map for living the way of love, illuminated with moving lessons from his own life. Through the prism of his faith, ancestry, and personal journey, Love Is the Way shows us how America came this far and, more important, how to go a whole lot further. Each week is self-contained discussing one chapter at a time, so the study can be joined at any time. The book group is co-lead by Carol Barrett and Arlene Turner.

If you are interested in joining this class on Zoom or have questions about this series, please email Church Administrator Kelley DeCleene.
