Headlines: Lenten Book Study Wednesdays 7:00-8:30 p.m. and Sundays 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m., Beginning February 22. Please tell us your preferred time. "Simple Living, Compassionate Life a Christian Perspective," edited by Michael Schut, is collection of essays by contemporary thinkers and writers like Wendell Berry and Henri Nouwen. Chapters focus on the concept of "time"; the consequences of our food choices; the theological basis for simplicity and other related topics. A diversity of voices and a helpful study guide make this an effective tool for individuals and groups ready to consider alternatives to the high-price, high stress "Good Life" --- the abundant riches of simplicity and compassion that are there for us behind the clutter of modern life.
This book study is part of a partnership between the Christian Education Ministry and the Whole Earth Group. Please let us know which time works best for you, and if you will need childcare by sending an email to simpleliving@firstplymouthchurch.org .
