THE NEXT BOOK GROUP BOOK is a novel about Jesus, Women, and Wisdom by Sue Monk Kid. Called “The Book of Longings,” this book has 4.5 stars on 23,000 reviews on Amazon. People say they have never felt as connected to Jesus’ place and time. As fiction, the book follows Ana, who is married to Jesus. Ana represents the church, which is referred to in scripture as the “bride of Christ.” She also gives us insight into the experience of women in the first century, particularly those who were drawn to dedicate their lives to Christ. The first section of the book will be placed on the resource table across from the office. Our first meeting will be at 10:30am on April 11.
ECLIPSE PARTY AND ROAD TRIP! The Saint James Steeplechasers have been invited to celebrate the solar eclipse with Eclipsopalians at Trinity Episcopal Church in Toledo on Monday, April 8 at their “Totality at Trinity” party. The church sanctuary is quite spectacular, a potluck lunch will be served, and there is a glorious outdoor plaza for gazing up at the sun through your Saint James solar eclipse glasses. We plan to get an early start in hopes of avoiding traffic congestion and parking problems — the church is offering us free parking in the attached parking garage, and there is an entrance to the church from the garage. The solar eclipse timeline begins a little before 2:00 p.m., and the moon completely covers the sun for a couple minutes starting at 3:13 p.m. — see the solar eclipse timeline for Cleveland below. RSVP to David and Kate Hartwell, your Steeplechasers Road Trip advisors!
THE NEXT MEN’S GROUP BREAKFAST is Sat, April 6th at the St. James Galloway Kitchen & Hall. We always have a great time sharing Stories, Memories, Prayer, and our development towards a higher awareness of Christ. Come at 8am for the cooking, 9am for eating and discussion!
