Events
"Faith & Fiction" Book Club
Our new “Faith & Fiction” book club met on October 26 for a lively discussion of Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. Not your cup of tea? Our goal is to read a variety of genres that tackle life’s big and small questions through the lens of faith.
We will be reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler for our November 30 meeting. Parable of the Sower is a speculative fiction novel set in a post apocalyptic earth heavily affected by climate change and social inequality. The book follows a young woman forced to flee her home and, as she attempts to travel north to safety, conceives a revolutionary idea to save all mankind. The book is widely available at surrounding libraries. You may also see Christine Shupenis to secure a copy.
Looking ahead, the book club will not meet during the month of December. We will resume on January 25 at 8:30 AM.
Christmas Festival
WUMC will again be participating in the annual Woodbury Christmas Festival this year. We plan to offer lunch which will include soup, sandwich and dessert. The date is December 6 from 11:30 to 2:00. We will need help on that Saturday, as well as during the week before, to decorate Fellowship Hall and to prepare soups and sandwiches. We’ll also need baked good donations for the dessert table. There will be sign-up sheets in Fellowship Hall or you can contact Joann King.
