Spiritual Memoir
This fall we will begin a new small group that will explore spiritual memoirs. The group will gather monthly to discuss a specific book. The first book will be Sin Boldly: A Field Guide for Grace by Cathleen Falsani. More information about the book is available in the church parlor. There also is a sign-up sheet on which you may indicate which of the possible meeting times would work best for you. Five copies of Sin Boldly are available to borrow from the church. Please speak with Phyllis McGill or Kathryn Palen if you have questions about this small-group opportunity.
