We’re
going to start our Adult Religious Education program this fall by doing a close
reading of Love and Death by Forrest
Church, long-time minister at All Souls Unitarian Universalist in New York
City. The book is a series of
meditations on dying and what remains behind written from the time Rev. Church
was diagnosed with an incurable throat cancer in 2006 until his death in 2009
at the age of 60.
We
will be meeting Tuesdays at 7:30, starting on October 21st when
we’ll meet to make introductions to each other and the book. Then we’ll meet on
Oct. 28, Nov 11, 18 & 25.
We’ll be reading about 40 pages per week so there will be plenty of time
to share personal stories and reactions as we read together.
I’d
be happy to get copies of the book for anyone who wishes for $13.00; you can
also buy it to read on any eBook reader, and there are used copies for less if
you wish to order your own. If you
want me to buy a book for you, you can pay me at the first class when I’ll
distribute the ones I’ve bought.
Please
sign up during coffee hour, OR you can just send me an email at minister@firstparishbridgewater.org. Be sure to let me know if you want me
to order a copy of the book for you.

Rev. Paul
