The First Church Book Group: April 25th – Cranford, by Elizabeth Gaskell
The First Church Book Group meets every month of the year (usually on the 4th Wednesday.) We carefully choose a variety of fiction and non-fiction that appeal to a range of readers. New members, both men and women, are always warmly welcomed. Unless otherwise noted, the group meets from 7:30-9pm in the Church Library.
Thursday
Da Vinci’s Ghost: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Famous Drawing – Thurs., April 26, 7:30pm, Parish Hall
Join Toby Lester to hear about his new book, which tells the story of the famous ‘Vitruvian Man” and the ancient ideas that influenced this timeless drawing. It’s a fun and surprising tale that ropes together an eclectic cast of characters: ancient Greek sculptors and philosophers; the Roman architect Vitruvius and the emperor Caesar Augustus; early European monks and Muslim astrologers; Hildegard of Bingen and other mystics; medieval cathedral builders; Renaissance anatomists, architects, art theorists, doctors, engineers, and painters —and in the starring role, of course, Leonardo himself.
Sunday
Bible Study, Sun. April 29, 12:30-2:30 in the Library
Join Rev. David Bryce and Allison Palm for the final session of a year-long exploration of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Each month we’ll read a particular story, learn about the history of that story, and reflect on its meaning through discussion and group activities. This month we’ll be reading Galatians 2:15-21 and James 2:14-26. Come once or come every month! Bagels provided.
Coming Up!
