Brown Bag Meal Ministry

We are continuing to place our Brown Bags into the hands of hungry folks we encounter on street corners and parking lots.

We encourage those of you who are reluctant to hand them out, to try it.  I think you will find it rewarding. Just roll down your window and hold up a bag. Ask if they would like a lunch. Very seldom will someone decline.

 
We can’t pick up Brown Bags at church during our renovation but call or email me and I will gladly bring some to your house.  It’s a small thing we do, but much appreciated.

Each Brown Bag costs about $5.00 to fill. Please consider making a donation. In the memo line of your check, put “Brown Bag Ministry”.

Thank you for your generosity, and may God bless our efforts.

Book Study

The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr

​

Wednesdays

- 10am (in person)

-   7pm on Zoom

Our new book selection is “The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe” by Richard Rohr.

“Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name?

Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the
center.

Drawing on scripture, history and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world.”

Participants may order copies of our book selection online.

​

To participate in either the in-person or Zoom study groups, please contact Judy Faye.
