Faithful Readers

Faithful Readers, St. Paul’s literature discussion, launches a new year with some of Garrison Keillor’s homespun wit: Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Woebegone. The selection is available in the Book Corner.

The Sept. 9 gathering of book-lovers begins with a 6:30 p.m. potluck, followed by discussion at 7 p.m. Bring a salad or main dish to share. Dessert will be provided.

Dave Crowe and Katie Hanson, who masterfully lead discussion for All St. Paul Reads in February, always unpack some surprising ideas. Love to read? Come!

ALPHA

Alpha. The first letter in the Greek alphabet. The “first things” for growing in the Christian faith.

Each year, St. Paul offers two ALPHA courses on the foundational beliefs that can shape our lives. ALPHA is a experience in friendship and faith on seven Monday evenings, with Pastor Peter Marty as the primary teacher.

Fall and spring classes have been posted on the church calendar with you in mind:

  • Mondays, Sept. 20-Nov. 1, with a Saturday retreat on Oct. 16
  • April 18-May 31

You’ll be part of catered suppers in the Commons, music, laughter, and thoughtful discussion. Come, discover new friendships and deepen your roots in the soil of faith.

Enroll at any time on the church website or watch for enrollment informtion.
