Summer Reading
What are you reading this summer? Carolyn and Betty have some great recommendations! They suggest American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church by Andrew Whitehead, who will be speaking at North Church on September 15th. Gardeners are invited to attend, and the event will be followed by a conversation.
Another recommendation is Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution by Rainn Wilson.
Discussions on both books will be part of the Together in 111 series.
