Wednesday Night Cookout & Book Study Continues through August 4th AT 6 PM in Salem's Fellowship Hall
Time. We count it in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years. Sometimes it seems to drag on as we wait for a special day (ask any youngster --- or maybe any school teacher at this time of year how time seems to drag on when we wait for summer vacation to begin.) Often it flies by and we pick our heads up wondering where it has gone. There are times when we find ourselves panicking over the amount that must be done in a limited amount of time. And there are others when a lonely Sunday afternoon seems never to end.
Time. We do well to take a step back sometimes to wonder at how we use the gift of time that is ours. This summer, you will be invited to do just that as we gather for Wednesday night cookouts and book study. Our focus this year will be the book Receiving the Day: Christian Practices for Opening the Gift of Time by Dorothy C. Bass. Each week through August 4th we will come together in Fellowship Hall on Wednesday nights at 6 p.m., share a meal together, and then spend time in study and conversation. There will also be programming for children, so these promise to be fun nights for the whole family.
The cost for the book is $9.50. You will be invited to bring a dish to pass and to take your turn on the grill and providing the meat (which will be reimbursed with a free will offering.) Sign up in Salem's Welcome Center today to reserve your book. If you can come just once or you can make it all eight times, it promises to be a good experience!
