Food For the Soul services will resume virtually
in July, with a 12-week video study entitled
"The Color of Compromise", by Jemar Tisby. The
date of the first session is TBA, but all sessions
will be Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
More information available on
The Color of Compromise web site. Please

office if you would like to participate as

the start date! In the meantime, here's the "The
Color of Compromise"
trailer.
 "The
Color of Compromise takes readers on a historical
journey: from America’s early colonial days
through slavery and the Civil War, covering the
tragedy of Jim Crow laws and the victories of the
Civil Rights era, to today’s Black Lives Matter
movement. Author Jemar Tisby reveals the
obvious—and the far more subtle—ways the American
church has compromised what the Bible teaches
about human dignity and equality."

 The
Green Good News: Christ's Path to Sustainable and
Joyful Life
by T. Wilson Dickinson
The Green Good News finds a
fresh take on the Gospels, painting a picture of
Jesus as a humorous and subversive teacher, an
organizer of alternative communities and food
economies, as a healer of bodies and
relationships, and as a prophet who sought to
overturn an empire and restore a more just and
joyful way of life. Christ teaches and incarnates
a vision for sustainable life and provides
practices that mark the path toward it.
By
exploring this always-inspiring sustainable
gospel, we can find ways to transform our lives,
communities, and even creation.
 America's
Sacred Sites: 50 Faithful Reflections on Our National Monuments
and Historic Landmarks
by Brad Lyons and
Bruce Barkhauer
Travel the US without leaving your chair! You may
not be able to travel much right now, but your
imagination is free to roam anywhere it wants to
go. Chalice Press’ newest release, America’s
Sacred Sites: 50 Faithful Reflections on Our
National Monuments and Historic Sites, arrives
just as we’re used to emerging from our winter
cocoons and exploring the country – in a time when
the pandemic keeps us at home. The new book pairs
a National Park Service site in each state with a
religious or spiritual theme, scripture, and
reflection questions.
This book is a follow-up to America’s Holy Ground:
61 Faithful Reflections on Our National Parks.
