Advent 2026 Book Study

​​​​

We invite you to join us on Wednesdays in Advent for a soup lunch at books study.

​

This year, we will have four sessions: Dec 2, 9, 16, and 23 at noon.

We will being at noon, share lunch together, and then discuss Chosen?: Reading the Bible Amid the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by Walter Brueggemann.

​

Brueggemann, an Old Testament scholar, invites us to consider the meaning of chosen and the meaning of biblical Israel in today’s context. We will also read a detailed review of Brueggemann’s book by Dr. Stephen Sizer. The review will provide response to some of Brueggemann’s thoughts.

​

We hope you will be able to join us. And, if you would like to prepare a soup or bring rolls for our lunch, please sign up in the church office.

​

Fr. Joe will have copies of Chosen? and the review by Dr. Steven Sizer in the coming weeks.

We'll gather on Wednesdays in Advent, (December 2, 9, 16, and 23) in the church library for a soup lunch followed by conversation and discussion of the book.
