Water for Elephants

[Tina Toburen]

Hello folks,

 

A couple of things as we prepare for our meeting next week.  This book's themes are less overt compared to last month--we aren't working with a book that is beating you over the head with the religious aspects, and we'll therefore being doing a bit more digging into this book.  That being said, I would encourage you all to think about a couple of things as you are reading: the aging process and how we as a community of faith work through that process with our neighbors, also our care and stewardship of all aspects of creation, not just ourselves.  I know that several of you have read the book previously, and I hope that you will be able to share how some of your thoughts have changed by reading it through a potentially different lens. 

 

As a side note, I am working through this book with all of you, since it has been awhile since I've read it myself.  With that, I had forgotten that this book can be a bit, gritty.  In light of that, feel free to pass over any sections of the book you don't care to read--they obviously won't be pertinent to our conversations as a group, and I wanted to make sure to share that with you all. 

 

I hope you all managed through our wonderfully icy, cold weather, and are having a wonderful week, and one last thing--feel free to bring along any stories you might have about trips to the circus--since I'm sure some of you probably have some great ones :-)

 

Peace and Blessings to you all,

Vicar Tina

Vicar Tina,

I’m going to pass on the February book, due to a crazy month, but I would like to get the March book awhile.  Do you have the March book picked yet?

We'll be picking out the book for March at the meeting on the 13th, then we can let everyone know from there what's coming up next :-)
