Cool Books Club:
Tuesday, August 7
7:00 p.m. at
Peg Giesbrecht's home
The Cool Books Club will meet on Tuesday, August 7, at 7 p.m. at the home of Peg Giesbrecht.
We will read and discuss the first section of Brian D. McLaren's book,
The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World's Largest Religion is Seeking a Better Way to be Christian
.
Amazon: "Brian McLaren, a leading voice in contemporary religion, argues that- notwithstanding the dire headlines about the demise of faith and drop in church attendance-Christian faith is not dying. Rather, it is embarking on a once-in-an-era spiritual shift. For millions, the journey has already begun....
With his trademark brilliance and compassion, McLaren invites readers to seize the moment and set out on the most significant spiritual pilgrimage of our time: to help Christianity become more Christian."
If you are interested in joining us for this discussion, please contact Peg at 919-859-3951 or Ellen Cline ar 919-469-1456.

CPC Social Justice Task Force Event:
Cary Police Chief to speak at CPC, August 12
After Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, a national conversation started about law enforcement and communities of color. That conversation was also happening in Cary - at Headliners Barbershop, where the clientele is majority African-American.
Tru Pettigrew was one of those clients. He had a two-year-old son at home and was concerned about what it would be like for him to be a black boy growing up in the United States. He was so worried, he went down to the Cary Police Department to talk to someone. At the same time, leaders within the Cary Police Department
were already talking about how they had not done enough to build relationships with the African-American community.
Join us in the CPC Fellowship Hall following worship at 11:00 a.m. on August 12, when Cary Police Chief Tony Godwin and Tru Pettigrew will share this compelling story and talk about the work that followed. Their presentation will end with time for questions, answers, and discussion.
This event will last approximately one hour. Childcare will be provided. Snacks and beverages will be served. Hosted by the CPC Social Justice Task Force.
