Book Club News
The next book club is scheduled to meet on Saturday, May 18, at 10:00 am. The book that was chosen is The Sacred Pulse: Holy Rhythms for Overwhelmed Souls by April Fiet.
April Fiet invites us to examine the frantic patterns of our lives to reclaim the deeper, sa-cred pulses that pattern our days. Through stories, scripture, and practical guidance for daily living, she lays out twelve rhythms—including gardening, handcrafts, friendship, and holidays—that are both sustainable and sustaining. The
Sacred Pulse shows us how to strip away all the competing beats we have settled for so we can tap into the joyful, holy rhythms of life.
If you are weary and worn out, or simply in need of refreshing, this book can help to
restore your soul. All are welcome. Please join us.
Celebrating our 25 years!
On Easter Sunday (April 9) we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the consolidation of 8 congregations to form United in Faith. Bishop Yehiel Curry of our Metropolitan Chicago Synod was our guest preacher. Cake was served after the service.
The complete 25th Anniversary document of United in Faith is now available on our website at https://www.unitedinfaith.org/history and many pictures of the service and Cake & Coffee are in the Gallery at https://www.unitedinfaith.org/25th-anniversary-service
Do you like to write and record history? The author of the next installment, Years 26 - 30, is being sought now so data can start to be collected. Talk to Pam to learn more. You can keep the tradition going.
