Christmas Book Study!

Join us as we meet Sunday mornings here at the church at 9:00am to discuss the book The Redemption of Scrooge by Matt Rawle.  The study starts Sunday, November 26th!


Is redemption possible for Ebenezer Scrooge? Pastor and author Matt Rawle believes so as he discovers the teachings of Jesus in the words of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol . Rawle dives deep into the dark, sad, greedy world of Scrooge and discovers a man in dire need of a second chance. Along with Scrooge, we meet the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future and in the process learn about living with and for others in a world blessed by Jesus. Rediscover and reinvigorate your Christian faith this Advent and Christmas season and look at this familiar classic through the lens of faith.  (description curtesy of goodreads.com).
