Senior Book Discussion Group
This discussion group will be reading Seven Spiritual Gifts of Waiting: Patience, Loss of Control, Living in the Present, Compassion, Gratitude, Humility, Trust in God by Holly Whitcomb, one chapter per month for the next year. In America, waiting presents an enormous challenge. We are impatient, "fix-it" kinds of people—and not all situations can be fixed. This book presents seven spiritual gifts that waiting can teach us: Patience, Loss of Control, The Ability to Live in the Present Moment, Compassion, Gratitude, Humility, and Trust in God. Spiritual exercises and reflection questions for personal or group use are included, as well as a retreat design for use in church groups. Author Holly Whitcomb is a UCC clergywoman. Everyone is welcome, even if you haven't read the book. This group is part of the Senior Ministry program, but all are welcome, even if you're not a senior.
Contact Mary Hoffman for more information, and stop by her office to purchase a copy of the book ($12), or buy it from Amazon.com.
