SUMMARY:Recovering an "Enchanted Faith" - Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Recovering an “Enchanted Faith”\nBook Discussion Group\nSundays\, July 19\, July 26\, and August 2\n4:30–6:00 PM \nJune’s worship series invited us to recognize God’s creative\, hope-filled\, and renewing presence within us and throughout the world. In the busyness and demands of everyday life\, it can be difficult to pause long enough to notice wonder\, joy\, beauty\, and delight — the very gifts that often came so naturally to us as children. \nThis summer\, you are invited to continue that exploration through a three-week book discussion of Richard Beck’s Hunting Magic Eels: Recovering an Enchanted Faith in a Skeptical Age. Together\, we’ll reflect on what it means to recover a sense of sacred wonder in a world that can sometimes feel hurried\, distracted\, and disenchanted. \nWhether you have read every page\, skimmed a few chapters\, or are simply curious about the topic\, you are welcome to join the conversation. This group is for anyone who longs to reconnect with childlike wonder\, deepen their awareness of God’s presence\, and explore how faith can help us see the world with renewed imagination and hope. \nCome as you are. Bring your questions\, your curiosity\, and your openness to conversation. After all\, good discussion — like grace — has a way of showing up even when we feel a little unprepared. \nBooks are available wherever books are sold. Reading ahead is encouraged\, but not required.
