Book Club - "Liturgy of the Ordinary"

We launched a new book club earlier this year. We’re having a lot of fun with it! It’s a very low commitment – as we just read six books (and meet six times) throughout the year.

Our next gathering will be on Sunday, August 17th, at 12:30pm in the Fellowship Hall.

The book we will be discussing is Liturgy of the Ordinary by Tish Harrison Warren. It is a GREAT book that is easy-to-read and short… truly a perfect summer read! Here’s a brief excerpt from it:

“God is forming us into a new people. And the place of that formation is in the small moments of today. Alfred Hitchcock said movies are ‘life with the dull bits cut out.’ Car chases and first kisses, interesting plot lines and good conversations. We don’t want to watch our lead character going on a walk, stuck in traffic, or brushing his teeth—at least not for long, and not without a good soundtrack. We tend to want a Christian life with the dull bits cut out. Yet God made us to spend our days in rest, work, and play, taking care of our bodies, our families, our neighborhoods, our homes. What if all these boring parts matter to God? What if days passed in ways that feel small and insignificant to us are weighty with meaning and part of the abundant life that God has for us?”
