Adults: 2 Options for Summer Sunday School - Finally Comes the Poet, Room 211 (led by Pastor Chris) and The Bible Class, Room 207
|
|
This summer we will explore the poetry and prose of three contemporary writers whose words have shaped Christianity in the United States for over forty years. We will read excerpts from these books:
Thirst,
by Mary Oliver – Pulitzer-Prize-winning poet and essayist who died in early 2019.
This Day: Collected and New Sabbath Poems
, by Wendell Berry – poet, novelist, essayist, farmer, and environmentalist, winner of the National Humanities Medal.
Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now,
by Walter Brueggemann – renowned Old Testament scholar, Professor Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary, author of dozens of books.
Pastor Chris will preach in the summer months of June and July, bringing one of the author’s words into conversation with a biblical text. The Sunday school class will also explore the same text and reading. Participants will need to purchase the Brueggemann book. The others can be purchased as well, but relevant poems/readings will be available to participants.
