Join us this September as we read a book that is good for the soul. We'll be tackling The Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith.
Smith invites us to see and know God as Jesus did--as good and beautiful. To help us along our way, Smith provides questions for reflection in each chapter so it's best read with a journal at your side to jot down your thoughts.
Because of this, we'll meet three times in September and once in October to discuss what we've read.
Thursday, September 13 we'll discuss chapters 1-2 (6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall).
Thursday, September 20… read more
