A Book Study: Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer
"For those of us who want to see democracy survive and thrive-and we are legion-the heart is where everything begins: that grounded place in each of us where we can overcome fear, rediscover that we are members of one another, and embrace the conflicts that threaten democracy as openings to new life for us and for our nation."
- from the "Prelude" in Parker J. Palmer's Healing the Heart of Democracy
Join us for this four-week series on Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer, featuring short videos as our entrance into the discussion. Dates are October 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th.

Sunday, 9:15 am in the library.
Flannery O'Connor is a renowned writer of often dark southern short stories. However, O'Connor was devout Catholic, and her stories can be read through a religious lens.
Deborah Wilson and Charles Tyrone, who teach English at Arkansas Tech, will continue their "pop up" Sunday School classes through the fall, looking at O'Connor as a religious writer. On Sunday, Charles led a discussion of "Good Country People." Later, the Faith and Reason class will look with him at "Revelation." Deborah Wilson will lead discussions of "The Displaced Person" and "Greenleaf." Watch for dates for those future classes.
The classes meet starting at 9:15 am in the library. Copies of the stories will be available at the church office, or you can send an email to [email protected], and a scanned copy of the stories will be sent to you.
