Dean’s Summer Read

Augustine’s Confessions is one of the great works of Western literature and the work of one of the most important thinkers and writers of Christian antiquity. It is also generally considered the first modern autobiography, and arguments have been made that Augustine even invents here much of what would become the modern novel. This summer we will read together Sarah Rudin’s brilliant, fresh new translation of this classic work. Our tentative schedule for meeting to discuss our reading together will be: Wednesday, July 15: Introduction and Books 1-3; Wednesday, July 29: Books 4-7; Wednesday, August 12: Books 8-10; Wednesday, August 19: Books 11-13. We will meet at 5 p.m. in the Huger Meeting Room (construction permitting) for no more than one hour, both in person and via Zoom.

Loaves and Fish Summer Changes

There is a new downtown feeding ministry that provides hot lunches on weekdays. Because of the new program, we will be assessing how best to adjust this ministry and will resume in August.

 

Remember the Blessing Box

A little goes a long way. Help us keep our food pantry stocked for anyone in need of a helping hand.  Fill our box with care bringing non-perishable food donations such as fresh or canned fruit, canned meats, cereal, peanut butter and crackers, pop tarts.  Remember that all cans must have pop tops.  Look for a sign-up sheet on the ministry table.  Just fill the box one day during your designated week.
