                                                             2020 Book Study Schedule
 
Our Wednesday Book Study continues, even if it may look a little bit different than what it used to look like. In this time of wonderful fellowship, thoughtful conversation and inspiring insight into the books we are    reading and God’s work in this world and in us, we are now meeting on a Zoom meeting after dinner time. On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, we will be meeting at 6:30 p.m. If you are interested in participating, please e-mail Pastor Becky (pastorbecky@fpcyo.org) by Tuesday, November 17th, and she will include you in the Zoom invitation when it is sent out Wednesday November 18, in the morning. 
 
Our book for this month’s discussion is A Crazy, Holy Grace: The Healing Power of Pain and Memory by Frederick Buechner. As the back cover of the book states, “Frederick Buechner has grappled with the nature of pain, grief, and grace ever since his father committed suicide when Buechner was a young boy. In this   essential collection of essays, including one never before published. Frederick Buechner finds that the God who might seem so silent is ever near. He writes about this grace from God that seems arbitrary and yet draws us to his care. And he tells about the magic of memory and how it can heal old wounds with memories of past goodness and graces from God.”  Join us for this conversation and different perspectives along the way.
 
As we move into a new year together, here are the books we will be exploring in 2020:
 
December 16, 2020 Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others by Barbara Brown Taylor
