Summer Book Read! Followed by a BOOK DISCUSSON
on Wednesday, September 8 at 7:00 PM.
Just when you thought you were done with homework for the summer, along comes First Church’s Adult Steering Committee
with . . . MORE HOMEWORK! Seriously, please join us this Summer in reading The Good News from North Haven, by Michael L. Lindvall.
“Good News” tells the tale of Reverend David Battles, the new pastor of the local Presbyterian church in North Haven, Minnesota. Fresh from the suburbs, he discovers that this village turns hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. Each short story in Lindvall's sparkling diamond of a book tells of the ordinary, wondrous events in this small town from one Christmas to the next. By the end you will be remembering similar situations of small towns, people, traditions and change, and how the Grace of God keeps us going.
Lindvall grew up in small towns in Minnesota and in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He is the pastor of
Brick Presbyterian Church in the City of New York and has graced the pulpit of FPC Libertyville on several occasions.
Books may be ordered from local bookstores or Amazon.com ($12.50)
In September, we’ll get together to share our favorite chapters and recall some faith stories of our own. Pastor Roberta will provide the pimento cheese sandwiches and sweet tea!
