The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend our Broken Hearts and World
Wednesdays, beginning September 9 | 6:30–7:30 p.m.
This fall, join us for a conversation around Rabbi Sharon Brous’ The Amen Effect, a thoughtful and deeply human exploration of the practices that help communities become places where people are truly seen, known, and accompanied. Drawing on ancient Jewish wisdom, contemporary research, and stories from congregational life, Brous explores our longing for connection — and what it can look like to be present to one another in joy and grief, in difference and disagreement, and in the ordinary moments of life together.
We’ll read, reflect, and talk together, considering what it means to show up, to listen, to bear witness, to make room for grief and joy, and to recover a sense of wonder. Come ready to listen, reflect, and join the conversation. Copies of The Amen Effect by Sharon Brous will soon be available at the Welcome Desk at church, or wherever you purchase books.
Book Study: Becoming Neighbors by Amar D. Peterman
Thursdays on Zoom, beginning September 10 | 10–11 a.m.
The work of cultivating the common good starts in your own neighborhood. In Becoming Neighbors, Amar D. Peterman explores how the common good can be cultivated through the practice of neighbor love.
At the heart of this book is a simple but critical question: How will we live? Amid our differences and disagreements, through the strife and terror of our world, through the reality of death and the hope of resurrection, the answer for Christians is clear: We live as neighbors.
This study meets Thursdays on Zoom beginning September 10 and continuing through October 8, and is led by Pastor Melodie.
