I'll be leading the Rise of Christianity book club discussions. My friend, Brad Dewing, will be leading the Becoming a True Spiritual Community book club discussions. The book clubs are back to back on the same evenings, so you can pick one of the books or be an over-achiever and participate in both. Book descriptions, dates, times, and reading schedules are posted below. Let me know if you plan to participate.
A limited number of copies of this book selection will be available at the church office and resource center for $11.00. CLICK HERE to purchase at Amazon.

by Larry Crabb
In today's frenetic society, people spend their lives essentially disconnected from others, rushing through life content with brief visits and casual conversations. But what if one had a spiritual community of people who walked with and supported each other through life's journey? Larry Crabb explores how God can heal disconnected people and allow them to reconnect with each other and, ultimately, with Him.
