Tuesdays, Jan. 17, 24, 31, Feb. 21 & 28,
7-8:30 p.m., Easter on the Hill
Pastor Paul is leading a class based on the remarkable book, The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life by Dr. Armand M. Nicholi of Harvard Medical School. The book was also the basis for a PBS television series. Lewis and Freud were both concerned about ultimate questions and each came up with very different answers about the meaning of life and the existence of God. The class will explore these questions in a stimulating and memorable way. Contact Pastor Paul at paulharris@aol.com for more information.
Justice & Advocacy Reading Group – Seeing the Naked?
Next meeting: Sunday, January 8, 7-8:30 p.m., Easter on the Hill
Current book: “The End of Poverty” by Jeffrey Sachs.
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’ Matthew 25:37-39
We live in a community that, for the most part, doesn’t “see the naked” on a daily basis. Compassion runs deep within each of us, but surfaces for some of us in rare instances when we see the naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the sick, and the imprisoned.
Want to get to know other people who want to “see the naked” and explore how to put compassion into action? If you are interested in poverty alleviation, development economics, environmental sustainability, global politics, foreign aid, feeding the world, education, health care, …., there is a place for you in the Justice and Advocacy Reading Groups.
Subsequent books will be chosen based on group interest. There is no long-term commitment to a small group. Join to read just one book or join for the long haul. You will have the chance to change small groups every 6 weeks, based on finding or inviting people with shared interest. All are invited. No need to register in advance, and you can attend one or all classes, as your schedule permits. Consider this a possible Life Group activity.
Read the current book or just join for conversation, as long as you want to “see the naked” and put compassion into action! If you have questions, contact Dan Coyle, Robin Sicoli or Terolle Turnham.
