Digital Bulletin

We send the link to the bulletin in our weekly email newsletter. If you are visiting the church and don't have a smart phone or don't feel like you can manage this on your own, ask one of the Greeters at the church to check out a tablet to use during the service. You can also print the bulletin directly from the link to bring with you, if you prefer!

WEBS new book is: "Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart" by Brian McLaren

Join WEBS for engaging discussion online and in person on Wednesdays at 5:30pm beginning Oct. 9th as they explore Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart by Brian McLaren.

The Separation of Church and State: Writings on a Fundamental Freedom by America's Founders by Forrest ChurchMcLaren defines doom as the "un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling" that "we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves."

Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging in turbulent times. If you want to help yourself, your family, and the communities to which you belong to find courage and resilience for the deeply challenging times that are upon us - this is the book you need right now.
