Book Group
2026-03-23 19:00
The Book Group will meet MONDAY *, March 23, at 7:00 p.m. in Room 324 to discuss Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.
“Theo of Golden is the endearing story of a curious old man who quietly moves into a southern city and, for reasons unknown to anyone but himself,
undertakes a campaign of anonymous generosity. Theo’s love for people, combined with his fondness for books, art, birds, and story, unite in a colorful expression of outreach and affection. Stories are shared, friendships are born, and lives, in response to his inexplicable kindness, are affirmed and transformed.” (The Rabbit Room Store)
The Book Group is open to all and newcomers and guests are always welcome.
* Please note this is a change from our usual Tuesday meeting day.

Corporate Reading of the Gospel According to Matthew
2026-03-30 19:00
Most of us read along with the gospel readings on Sunday mornings. Some of us might undertake the Lenten discipline of reading sections of the Bible
or even tackle the Old or New Testament. The truly ambitious might read the Bible from cover to cover. But did you know that the Bible is a collection of
stories that were originally passed down in an oral tradition? The answer may be yes, and it just as well might be no.
Join us on Monday in Holy Week, for a corporate reading and experience the Gospel According to Matthew in the oral tradition. Challenge yourself to listen to the story from beginning to end.
The corporate gospel reading is a group activity so please sign up to be a reader. We will divide the gospel into segments and hope to get as many as 15 or 20 people to participate. We promise this experience will change how you hear the gospel.
