You’re invited to join Pastor Debby and others for a short-term book study during our upcoming Fast Forward for the Next Generation Initiative.  The book is Finding Holy in the Suburbs (Living Faithfully in the Land of Too Much) by Ashley Hales, PhD.   St. Charles County is a suburban community.  Each of our neighborhoods are a part of this community, yet each is unique.  Our community reflects both our desires to create good homes and also our brokenness.  The book looks at ways to find ourselves in God’s story, and how to live our lives in the midst of the daily doses we receive of consumerism, individualism, busyness, and safety.  It will guide us to think in new ways to live lives that offer hospitality, generosity, vulnerability, and shalom.   There are two ways to participate:  ·        In-person – Wednesday mornings, 10:00-11:00 am, September 29-October 27 ·        Online – Tuesday evenings, 6:30-7:30 pm, September 28-November 2   For more information or to register, please contact Pastor Debby at dbartley@firststcharlesumc.org or 636-947-0066.  Be sure to let her know in which way you prefer to participate.
