All-Parish Summer Reading Gets Underway
Our adult education program takes a break from gathering during the summer months but we
invite you to join us in some summer reading that will enrich you personally and spiritually. At the
end of summer/early fall we will gather to discuss our summer book selections. These books are available at local book sellers and online. And if you have a book you’d like to recommend for the future, let us know at rebecca@sjbts.org.
Wholehearted Faith by Rachel Held Evans
Through theological reflection and personal
recollection, Rachel wrestles with God’s grace
and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is
and does, and explores universal human
questions about becoming and belonging.
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
Corrie ten Boom became a heroine of the
Resistance, a survivor of Hitler's concentration
camps, and one of the most remarkable
evangelists of the twentieth century.

Now. Follow Me Now. 
 
“Are you busy?” the Rev’d D. Rebecca Dinovo asks. So busy, you’re putting off Jesus for when you’re more ready? Mo. Rebecca points out that St. Luke asks us to “arrange our lives around following Jesus…not just as a promise for the future, but today, right now, right here. Not next year, not next month, not next week, not tomorrow - now.”
