The Wednesday morning Women’s Book Study group has chosen Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr to be our book for study and reflection this year. Here is a description of the book from the book jacket: “In Falling Upward, Father Richard Rohr – the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation – offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life’s mysteries: how our failings can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth. Drawing on the wisdom from time-honored myths, heroic poems, great thinkers, and sacred religious texts, the author explores the two halves of life to show that those who have fallen, failed, or ‘gone down’ are the only ones who understand ‘up’. We grow spiritually more by doing it wrong than by doing it right.” The book costs $15 and we have once again found a study guide which will serve as a starting point for our monthly discussions. You can get your copy of the book and the study guide from Heather in the church office.

 

The Wednesday morning Women’s Book Study group continues to study Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr. Our meetings take place on the second Wednesday of the month at 10 am in the church parlor so our next meeting will be Wednesday April 12th. For that meeting we will discuss Chapter 11: The Shadowlands. We have welcomed many new participants this year and the reading of the chapters ahead of time is not necessary to benefit from the deep and lively discussions.

 

Come visit first then you can decide if you want to get your copy of the book and the study guide from Heather in the church office. Any questions? Contact Debbie Leavitt at daleavitt77@comcast.net Hope to see you there!
