Pat Baker will be leading a two-session discussion of book, And Not One Bird Stopped Singing, by Rev. Doris Moreland Jones. The book is about how Rev. Jones (director of a counseling center in Kentucky and an ordained Methodist minister) dealt with a variety of losses and grief in her life time. It is not only about the loss of loved ones, but also about other losses that we all have, as we transition through life. If you or someone you know is experiencing grief, whether it be fresh or long-lingering, we invite you to come together for healing and hope. The group will meet on Tuesdays November 28 and December 5, in the church library 6:30-8:30 pm.

Potpourri Sunday School Class began a 4 week study on 10/29/17 (room 116, Education Bldg., Sunday, 9:00 am): Presbyterians and Mormons: A Study in Contrasts [PC (USA)]. The 1990 report answers a request from the Presbytery of Grand Canyon to the 200th General Assembly for a “definitive statement” on the relationship of Mormon beliefs to those of Christian faith and doctrine. It clarifies basic issues and provides “a context for ongoing discussion.” The report, study guide, and class schedule are on the SAPC Sunday School web page below this entry. There is no read ahead required to attend or participate in the discussion. The study guide and class schedule are available in class.
