Dietrich Bonhoeffer Book:
Prayer, and Action Group

2nd Sunday of the Month at 11:15 AM,

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Protestant minister and resistance leader in Germany before and during World War II, and his life was a life of bravery and faithfulness.

Read and discuss some of Bonhoeffer’s theology and ideas, as a way for us to go deeper and think about what it means to be a Christian in these challenging and unprecedented times. To learn more, contact Pastorjohn@pilgrimsherborn.org.

Copies of the book will be available Sunday morning in the office for a suggested donation of $10.

The Church will provide the book to all who’d like to participate. Open to all.

Adult Writing Group:
Writing About your Life, A Spiritual Memoir Class

Tuesdays, 7 PM, schedule varies

This group began in 2019 and has expanded to include members and friends of Bethel AME, and has proved to be another effective way of getting to know each other through sharing stories about our lives.

Writing About your Life, A Spiritual Memoir Class beginnings…

In December of 2019, Pastor John offered a short writing class during the Christmas season. Six church members signed up, and for some of them, it would be the beginning of an ongoing exploration of the meaningful events of their lives.

After the Pandemic started in the winter of 2020, the group continued on Zoom. Many of the participants said they felt it was enormously helpful to have something creative to focus on during those difficult times.
