COMBINED SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Wake Up To Wonder By Karen Wright Marsh
Books are available in office for $10. CLASS AGENDA:
BOOK DESCRIPTION: In her quest to live a vibrant spiritual life, Karen Wright Marsh had a revelation: she didn't need to find and follow the perfect plan; she needed people she could follow. In Wake Up to Wonder, Marsh introduces you to those people--faithful yet oh-so-human Christians from across centuries and cultures. Inspired by their example, she offers playful, simple practices that bring deeper meaning and purpose to everyday life. In the company of diverse spiritual companions, you'll journey through physical health, prayer, activism, Scripture reading, creativity, and beyond. Each chapter includes hands-on invitations such as writing prompts, space for personal reflection, and "Try This," a collage of spiritual and personal experiments anyone can do. As you wake up to wonder, you'll discover what these twenty-two historical figures already knew: that a life of spiritual depth, amazement, and connection is within reach--today and every day. Historical Figures Covered Henri J. M. Nouwen Martin Luther Thomas Merton Hildegard von Bingen Margery Kempe Wangari Maathai Caedmon Amanda Berry Smith Augustine Lilias Trotter Fannie Lou Hamer Patrick of Ireland Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl Howard Thurman Pandita Ramabai Ephrem the Syrian Ignatius of Loyola Benedict and Scholastica Brother Lawrence Francis of Assisi and Clare of Assisi Dorothy Day Mabel Ping-Hua Lee |

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Following the Call Edited by Charles E. Moore
Books are available in office for $10. CLASS AGENDA
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Fifty-two readings to spark weekly group discussion on putting Jesus’ most central teachings into practice. Jesus’ most famous teaching, the Sermon on the Mount, possesses an irresistible quality. Who hasn’t felt stirred and unsettled after reading these words, which get to the root of the human condition? This follow-up to the acclaimed collection Called to Community: The Life Jesus Wants for His People taps an even broader array of sources, bringing together prophetic voices from every era and a range of traditions to consider the repercussions of these essential words. More than a commentary or devotional, this book is designed to be read together with others, to inspire communities of faith to discuss what it might look like to put Jesus’ teachings into practice today. |
