Summer Reading
The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee
This year the recommended “Book with a Purpose” from Bookmarks bookstore is The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee which argues that our society would benefit from a more inclusive approach to how we do life together. The author will be in Winston-Salem for the Bookmarks Festival the end of September and Centenary will be offering an opportunity to have facilitated small group discussion based on the themes of the book during Nourish leading up to the festival. Consider picking up a copy of the book now at Bookmarks and adding it to your summer reading!
Disciple Fast Track: Old Testament
Wednesday Nights at Nourish
Room 115 and On Zoom
5:45 - 7 pm
Weekly Sessions: Sept 10 - Nov 19
The goal of Disciple Bible small group study is to develop disciples of Jesus Christ who know and love God’s Word. This twelve-week unit will cover major themes of the Old Testament using the Disciple Fast Track study material designed to give busy people comprehensive engagement with the Bible over time. You do not need to know anything about the Bible to join this study. Group participants will spend about 30 minutes a day reading and reflecting on scripture in preparation for weekly group meetings which last about 75 minutes. In addition, each week includes teaching about the Bible passages and key ideas that students encountered that week. Experienced Disciple Bible leaders Kathy Chaney and Rev. Marilyn Weiler will facilitate this group. The cost is $10 for the study guide (preview it here) and you may also want to purchase the recommended Common English Study Bible. This is a small group study, so space is limited, and attendance is emphasized. There is an option for you to attend the class via Zoom. Childcare is available. Please click here to register by Wednesday, September 10. Books will be available for pickup at the 4 1/2 Street reception desk beginning on Wednesday, September 3.
