RHCF summer book study is just around the corner!
We're meeting all Monday evenings in July from 6:30-7:30 PM in the Family Room at RHCF. As usual, we'll read a couple chapters in advance, and then meet to discuss what we've learned & questions we've had along the way.
The link to sign up is below, but first, here's some info about the options available to you.
FOR MEN & WOMEN :
Please note: these selections are open to any ages, but each is geared toward a specific season of life.
1. Don't Waste Your Life, by John Piper
**target age group: 20s-40s
**reading commitment: higher intensity
2. Not Old, Not Young, Not Done, by Christopher Ash
**target age group: 50s-60s
**reading commitment: moderate intensity
3. Finishing Our Course with Joy, by J.I. Packer
**target age group: 70+
**reading commitment: low intensity
Here's why I chose these books: The race of a Christian life feels long. It is too easy to begin to think that what you do with your life doesn't matter that much. It's easy to become weary, complacent...or even a little entitled, in how we steward the resources of time, energy, skills, finances, and wisdom that we've been given. And so, it's important for us to pause at times, take stock, and receive (through men who have gone before us), the encouragement to live intentional, purpose-filled, godly lives of faithfulness. To not waste our lives so that, whether we're 25, 55, or 85, we can finish our course with joy.
Whatever age you are, and whichever book you choose, you'll find that you have a refreshed vision for how to live & persevere in the Christian life.
FOR WOMEN:
4. Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds, by Jen Wilkin
Yes, I know you've probably heard about this one before, but if you're newer to our church or just haven't had the chance, you won't want to miss out on this short, approachable, and encouraging read. Have you ever wished you knew your Bible better? Have you been intimidated by certain parts of Scripture? If so, this book is for you! Learn how to read and understand the Bible for yourself.
OTHER DETAILS:
**Childcare is available if needed! Be sure to include any kiddoes on your registration so that we have enough babysitters ready to receive them.
