Wednesday Supper and Studies November 13
Ethics After Easter November 13, Jim Pernini and Fr. Bob will lead final class in this series on Christian Ethics. This summer, Jim and Keren made a pilgrimage to the “National Memorial for Peace and Justice” in Montgomery, AL. This history lesson on racial violence and lynching made a deep impression which Jim will help us understand. The work of Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative focus on several of the important ethical questions of our time. Bob+ will take Jim’s lead as an entrance into “what’s next?” when we are confronted by society and history that is clearly in conflict with our Christian morality.
Crew This excellent young(ish) adults and families group meets every Thursday from 5:30-7:00pm, in Alfriend House! We have dinner, engaging discussion and fun, and there are always lots and lots of kids! Let Mother Ashley know if you’re interested or have any questions, all are welcome!
Episcopal Youth Community Something NEW in November! Weekly meetings are moving to Sundays, noon-1:15, starting November 3. Of course we’ll still have the same 75 minutes of food, fun, & fellowship, but now EYC will meet immediately following the morning services. We are still meeting in Alfriend House with pickup in Tucker Hall. We want all our youth to be included and have been hearing that maybe dinnertime on a school night isn’t the best way to do that. To help us plan for future months, please reach out to Summer Johnson and share your feedback: Do you prefer this new time, or would it prevent you from attending? Stay tuned for news of our November outing! Sunday, December 1- No EYC due to Thanksgiving Weekend. Come to church in the morning to make Advent wreaths!
Make Your Advent Wreath! On Sunday, 1 December we will continue our tradition of starting Advent off right by making family Advent wreaths. The Sunday following Thanksgiving is the first Sunday of Advent, so it’s the perfect time to begin this work. Come to the Library - everything needed will be available to construct your wreath. This will help you to walk through the season of Advent remembering each moment leading up to Christmas as precious, and mark it with the lighting of a candle. As the days grow darker the light from your Advent wreath will grow brighter. Finally, Christmas will arrive and your Advent wreath will shine with a brightness that no darkness can overcome.
Monday, 11 November, 7:00pm Join Father Bob and Mother Ashley at Pleasure House Brewing for riveting discussion and craft beers. No topic is off limits - we’re here to get down to what’s really on our minds about God, faith, religion - you name it! Bring your favorite snack and we’ll have chips and dip to share. All are welcome!
