Church-Wide Book Study

Written By Wesley Ellis

The Church Council invites you to join us in reading and discussing Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This spiritual classic explores what it means to live in Christian community, drawing from Bonhoeffer’s own experience leading an underground seminary during Nazi rule. His reflections on fellowship, prayer, ministry, and confession remain deeply relevant today.

We’ll take our time with the book, meeting once every several weeks to allow space for reflection and practice. Each gathering will focus on a different section:

📖 May 25 – Community (pages 7–39)
📖 July 6 – The Day with Others (pages 40–75)
📖 August 3 – The Day Alone (pages 76–89)
📖 September 7 – Ministry (pages 90–109)
📖 October 5 – Confession and Communion (pages 110–122)

We ask for a $15 donation per participant to cover the cost of the book. Please RSVP so we know how many copies to order.

Come journey with us as we reflect on what it means to share life together in faith!
