A BOOK STUDY
Wednesdays
November 4th to December 2nd,

What to do on Wednesday evenings in November? Our interim priest, Pat Johnston, has offered to lead a Book Study for us. Author NT Wright served as the Bishop of Durham, and now teaches New Testament at Oxford. His writing is easily accessible and thought-provoking.
The little book we will read together is called God and the Pandemic, written by Wright earlier this year.
Please indicate your interest by email to the Office office@stjohnsottawa.ca or by phoning. Please register before November 1st.
You'll need the book beforehand
update: the book is now available at our local bookshop, Perfect Books on Elgin.
