SUMMARY:WDC Final Thursday Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 27\, 2022 to discuss This is God’s Table: Finding Church Beyond the Walls by Anna Woofender.\n\nFrom the book: As churches across the Western world wither\, what would it take to find a raw\, honest\, gritty way of doing church–one rooted in place\, nurtured by grace\, and grounded in God’s expansive love? What would it take to carry the liturgy outside the gates? What if we were to discover that in feeding others\, we are fed? This is God’s table. Come and eat.\n\n\nCopies of the book are available through the library\, contact the library at crlib@mennowdc.org to register or borrow a copy.
