UPCOMING EVENTS

Sunday, November 15

Title graphic reading “Prayers of Help, Thanks, and Wow,” a series inspired by Anne Lamott, over a misty autumn forest.

Mud Creek Campus

Paul writes words of joy and gratitude while sitting in a prison cell. His call to rejoice is not about pretending everything is fine. Gratitude is a way of remembering what God has already done, even when life is hard. As we approach Thanksgiving, we discover that giving thanks opens the door to a peace that guards our hearts and minds.

Promise Road Campus

Families carry complicated histories. There are wounds, disappointments, betrayals, and things we wish had happened differently. Joseph's story reminds us that grace doesn't erase the past, but it can create a different future.

Love on a Leash is Back!

This event is for your child, grandchild, or any other young one in your life. Have them spend their own special reading time with a patient, lovable, and non-judgmental friend. All children are welcome but is ideal for reluctant readers. 10-minute time slots will be available for one-on-one time with the pups. Another furry friend will be around or just loving and petting. This program is offered in memory of Matthew Pearcy who loved animals of all kinds but also struggled with learning to read.

To sign up, contact Lisa Pearcy (lisatheot@comcast.net), or you can sign up here.

Page Turners Book Club

We will discuss The Light Pirate by Lily Books-Dalton. This novel describes a world like ours in that it has rising seas that change our coastlines and our lives. How can we, as humans, endure losses? Will we mourn or persist? This is a very different novel.  It makes us think about what is real. If you cannot be with us, our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 27. The group has not yet picked a book, so send your suggestions!
