Book Club

Picture

Begins August 8

​Book Club is on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 2:00 p.m.  Mark your calendars and plan to join us! 

The next book will be John Pavlovitz's, "A Bigger Table: Building Messy Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community" Books area available from Cindi P. and at the meeting. 

We will spend about 40-45 minutes reading the book and about 25-30 minutes discussing what we read.

Description
A Bigger Table: Building Messy Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community
No one likes to eat alone; to approach a table filled with people, only to be told that despite the open chairs there isn't room for you. The rejection stings. It leaves a mark. Yet this is exactly what the church has been saying to far too many people for far too long: "You're not welcome here. Find someplace else to sit." How can we extend unconditional welcome and acceptance in a world increasingly marked by bigotry, fear, and exclusion?

Pastor John Pavlovitz invites readers to join him on the journey to find—or build—a church that is big enough for everyone. He speaks clearly into the heart of the issues the Christian community has been earnestly wrestling with: LGBT inclusion, gender equality, racial tensions, and global concerns. A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, Hopeful Spiritual Community asks if organized Christianity can find a new way of faithfully continuing the work Jesus began two thousand years ago, where everyone gets a seat.
​

Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories and his careful observations as a pastor to set the table for a new, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith. He invites us to build the bigger table Jesus imagined, practicing radical hospitality, total authenticity, messy diversity, and agenda-free community.
