ADULT EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY Seeking Spiritual Intimacy Journeying Deeper with Medieval Women of Faith During the Middle Ages, a movement began where thousands of Christian women formed communities to study Scripture and reach out to the sick and needy. These women called “Beguines,” became well -known for their spiritual devotion. Their faith practice impacted the lives of many people in Europe, including St. Francis of Assisi. The Rev. Dr. Glenn E. Myers, ELCA, Professor of church History and Theological Studies at Crown College in St. Boni-facius, Minnesota, also studied and walked through many of the cities and towns in Belgium and Germany where the Beguines once lived. Join us for this event (free and open to the public) as he teaches us about these women of faith and invites us to consider how we might grow as disciples of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

BOOK REVIEWS -- The Healing Quilt by Lauraine Snelling
A group of 'hurting' women decide to create a handmade quilt to be auctioned off to raise funds to be used toward the purchase of an up-to-date mammogram machine for their community. The quilting project provides ways for the women to find God's help in their healing and makes for a 'good read.' You'll find this recently acquired book in the Calvary Library fiction section. Stop in the library on the upper level and see what book you might be interested in taking home to read. Another easy to read book has been added to the Library "Good Hope Road" by Lisa Wingate. A story about how neighbors work together and heals after a tornado strikes their community. The Courtship of Nellie Fisher is a 3 volume set by Beverly Lewis. After enjoying Book 1 entitled The Parting, I rushed to the church library hoping Book 2 The Forbidden would be waiting for me. The author has a direct connection with Amish beliefs because her mother is from Plain family heritage.
