Adult Forum: "Bread for the Journey: Why Reading Matters (and What Books Can Do) for Kingdom Living"

Most here surely know the value of books and the importance of the reading life, but we'll enjoy being reminded of why reading matters as a formative spiritual practice, exploring what it means to see reading as an act of worship, shaping contemporary discipleship, resourcing missional contextualization and deepening of community. As a small-town bookseller for over 40 years, our speaker will share thoughts about our increasingly digital context, with insights from popular-level theology, social critics, and stories of his day-to-day vocation and calling.

With a variety of guest speakers, the Adult Forum offers presentations and discussions on a wide range of topics. The thought-provoking topics include Biblical studies, current social issues, and the work of mission agencies. All presentations are open to the public.
