Presbyterian Book Study
By Pastor Jess

Craig Howard (pastor at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian in Cottage Grove), Scott Marrese-Wheeler (pastor at Parkside Presbyterian in Madison), and myself are brainstorming ways for our congregations to be connected to one another and support one another in ministry. We're starting with a book club and inviting all the congregation members to be a part of it.

 We will be reading, Creating a Healthier Church: Family Systems Theory, Leadership, and Congregational Life by Ronald Richardson, a short, easy read. Our hope is to rotate between the three churches, meeting once a month on either the 2nd or 3rd Tuesday at 11 AM for an hour of discussion and then head to lunch at a local restaurant. We have read the first three chapters. After a break over December, we hope to meet again in January. If you are interested in being part of this book study, please contact Pastor Jess.

(A link to purchase the book from http://www.christianbooks.com/ for $12.99 +S/H is below.  It is also available from Amazon for $16.56-paperback/$9.99-Kindle.)
