Mary Magdalene Church Tuesday Book Study - NEW!
Our Tuesday book group will begin again on April 29th. We will be reading “The Healing Path – A Memoir and an Invitation,” by James Finley. Jim gracefully shares stories of healing from trauma, both his own and from his lifetime as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma. As Jim shares details of his own traumas (emotional, physical and sexual), he shares his self-discovery, healing, and his personal spiritual journey. Jim invites us, in this contemplative reflection, to be inspired to heal, and to find our own path to God’s love.
Jim Bridges’ review: Five stars! Is it sometimes difficult? Yes. Will you cry? I did, many times - touched by the amazing power of God to transform our pains into love. I am so grateful for Jim’s courageous, heartfelt, intimate sharing of his path and inviting us to find our own.
We will meet in the MMC library and on Zoom at 6:30 pm EST. Here is the link for all Zoom sessions: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82790568373?pwd=QhatbwzpIVUJDynwoWTyASxDASC7hb.1
Jazz Saturday at MMC!
Join us on April 12th from 2-4 PM for a jazz jam session in the sanctuary hosted by our very own Bob Pizzutiello and his band. Free, no lines, and easy parking. Please come, bring a friend, and enjoy some great jazz!
Small Change to Make BIG Changes!
Our Young Church Ministry will be collecting small, loose, change. Our goal is to fill our empty soup pot by the end of Lent and then donate the money to World Relief. Empty soup bowls will be at each entrance to our church and downstairs in Fellowship Hall. We ask you to please consider filling our bowls with your loose pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to lighten your pockets and purses and help those in need!
