Fellowship Hour May 19: Seven-Minute Stories!
In the parish hall after 10:30 worship
The Fellowship Committee is hosting a fun “interview a parishioner” event and you won’t want to miss it!
During this event, we aim to get to know one another on a deeper level. Fellowship Committee members will prepare a few friendly questions and we’ll allow ourselves to listen to the wisdom and experience of those around us. Each of us is our own beautiful “book” with stories and experiences to share. Together, parishioners in fellowship make up a “library” of amazing things to learn. Come join in the fun!
Bring any potluck food you’d like to add to the coffee hour snacks (optional), especially if you want to share your baking talents.
“Exploring our Faith” is Exploring the Psalms!
All are invited to join us for discussion of Journey Through the Psalms by Denise Dombkowski Hopkins. Find the Zoom link here.
About the book, from Amazon:
Denise Dombkowski Hopkins combines the insights of scholarship on the Psalms with artwork, liturgy, song, and poetry to give us a new way to use the Psalms in our life of faith together…Reflective questions bring a new awareness of the power of the Psalms to enrich worship and devotions, with an honesty that does not turn away from the realities of suffering and anger.
