 Ascension Book Club

The next selection for the Ascension Book Club, our adult Christian education forum, will be "Reading Genesis" by Marilynne Robinson. Acclaimed author and essayist Marilynne Robinson walks readers through one of the most well-known texts in the Western world and manages to offer fresh perspectives on ancient stories. Remarkably, she is able to offer a faithful reading that recognizes and affirms the divine inspiration behind the text, while at the same time recognizing the many human hands that have touched these stories as they have been passed from one generation to another. Her reading of Genesis is an excellent example of how 21st century Christians can faithfully approach the Bible in all its complexities and still walk away from it with a deeper knowledge of God's grace. Our first meeting will be Sunday, October 6th at 9am.

Tuesday Club

The Tuesday Club will be meeting on Tuesday at 11:00am.
