Speak of the Devil...
That's what C.S. Lewis does in his "rollicking and rueful" novel
The Screwtape Letters.
As you read the correspondence between Uncle Screwtape, a "senior devil," and his nephew Wormwood, a "young fiend," you'll examine the subtle but effective ways evil comes into our world.
This first adult ed series of the season will begin this
Wed.,
Sept. 18
at
10 AM
and will be repeated at
6:30 PM
preceded by a light supper at 6 PM.
Also on Wednesdays
--A service of Holy Communion and Healing takes place at
5:30
PM in the church.
