Support Groups, Book Studies and Discussion
Women’s Book/Bible Study
 
The Wednesday morning Women’s Book Study group has chosen See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love by Valarie Kaur to be our book for study and reflection this year. Through her own journey as a young brown girl growing up in California, Kaur declares revolutionary love as the call of our time, a practice that extends to others, to our opponents and to ourselves. It enjoins us to see no stranger but instead to look at others and say: You are part of me I do not yet know in order to transform ourselves, our communities, and the world. See No Stranger helps us imagine new ways of being with each other – and with ourselves – so that together we can begin to build the world we want to see. The book can be ordered from the Water Street Bookstore in Exeter or Amazon. We have once again found a study guide which will serve as a starting point for our monthly discussions; you can pick it up from Heather in the church office.
 
Our meetings take place on the second Wednesday of the month at 10 am in the church parlor so the meeting in May will take place on Wednesday May 8th. For that meeting we will read part III. breathe and push: loving ourselves 9. transition. We welcome any interested woman to join us. If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Leavitt at daleavitt77@comcast.net.
