With the beginning of Lent, as well as two new adult Sunday School classes, check the church library for a variety of books which will add to your understanding of the subjects to be discussed. The Lenten Wednesday evening discussions and Buddy MacKay’s Sunday morning classes will be focusing on spiritual disciplines. Thanks to Margaret Spontak, the library has 2 new copies (for a total of 3 copies) of Richard J. Foster’s Celebration of Discipline. On the shelves are also many books on prayer, meditation, and bible study. A second Sunday School class will discuss why bad things happen and how we respond. In the library are many relevant books by such authors as Harold Kushner, C. S. Lewis, Philip Yancey and others. A number of these books will be displayed on the bookshelves straight ahead as you enter the library. All may be checked out for a two-week period. For assistance in finding other books, Louise Olivarez and Lucille Rowoldt will be glad to help you. Five recent additions to the library, all given by Cheryl Gans, are: Sharing the Bread of Life by Peter Gathje; I Hear Hope Banging at My Back Door by Ed Loring; The Courage to Heal by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis; Feminist Theory and Christian Theology by Serene Jones; and Fabrics of Discourse: Essays in Honor of Vernon K. Robbins by various biblical scholars. The library is open Sunday and Thursday mornings; other times by request.

If you cannot find a book, ask the librarians, Louise Olivarez or Lucille Rowoldt. Books may be borrowed by members of Fort King. Our sincere thanks to all of you who donate books that you have read, enjoyed, and want others to enjoy them as well.
