Faith Adventures Book Club: Beginning on September24, 7pm in the Library there will be a “Book Club” meeting in the Parish on the fourth Tuesday of the month to read and comment on a non-fiction book related to a topic of faith (prayer, spirituality, Christian Life, etc.). This will be a relaxed time of sharing our thoughts and listening to others’ views on the chosen book. The first book, “Messy Spirituality”, was selected in June to allow lots of time for members to acquire and read it.
