"The Great Emergence" Bookstudy

Our interim pastor - Barb Schacht - is starting a seven week book study this week - are you signed up? There are three times that she'll be leading the study: Wednesday at 2 pm and 7 pm, Sundays at 11:30 am following worship.  There will be copies of the first chapter available if you don't have a copy of the book by June 3rd or 6th. 

** If anyone is interested in holding an online discussion of the book contact Leena Prindle (Director of Faith Formation & author of this blog post). **

Here is the invite from Pastor Barb:

"The most interesting book I have read in a year is The Great Emergence by Phyllis Tickle. She says that about every five hundred years the Christian Church has a rummage sale and throw out cherished but no longer usable ideas and practices. The last rummage sale was the Reformation, and we're going through another one right now.

Please join me in reading and sharing reactions to the author's explanation of our history and predictions about our future. We'll meet for seven weeks to cover seven short chapters starting June 3rd (Wednesday) or June 7 (Sunday). Books cost $15.00 each if purchased through the church office. "

Contact the office or Pastor Barb to sign up (or Leena to share in a weekly online discussion).
