For the second semester of this year's book club we will be reading Pierre Nzuah's book, Persist and Pursue: Breaking Barriers to Achieve a Dream.  This amazing book depicts life in Cameroon and the (almost!) insurmountable feat of getting a minimal education as well as the clear path God laid out for Pierre.  Pierre will join us at our meetings to answer questions.  Planned meetings are 7 pm EST on February 1, March 1, and April 5.

Check the home page for the  Zoom link registration information.  

To order the book, go to a search engine and type in the title.  The book is published by Bloated Toe.  It is available at The North Country Story for  $15. Also on Amazon.  We suggest reading a third of the book prior to each meeting.

In deepening our relationships with God through our studies and discussions, we’ve also strengthened our relationships with each other and have developed wonderful friendships. We are currently studying the Nine Fruits of the Spirit: Love (completed Dec 2020), Joy (Jan), Peace (Feb), Patience (March), Kindness (April), Goodness (May), Faithfulness (June), Gentleness (July), and Self-Control (August).

Join us as we strive to become the best versions of ourselves, expand our relationships with God and grow together in friendship and sisterhood in the process. Together we are Becoming Faithful Followers (BFFs)!

We meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from 6:30-8:00 pm via Zoom. Come to one meeting, come to two, come to them all. Whatever fits your schedule.

Contact the church office for the link to the meeting.

Manuscript study is an interactive way to study Scripture. Scripture is taken apart, observed and studied, then applied to our lives today. If you enjoy writing notes as you study, using colored pencils and markers, and delving deeply into the language of Scripture, the this type of study is for you. Contact Leigh Anne Herd if interested.

Periodically through the year we gather for an informal time of inter-generational worship to share stories and learn from the wisdom of old and young together.  Look for dates and Zoom links on the home page banner.

Session has reflected on attitudes and actions to dismantle structural racism using the PC USA 21-Day Racial Justice Challenge.  Click this link for the PC USA webpage.

The challenge invites you to do something every day to raise awareness about the perniciousness of racism and encourage action in response to that awareness. The PC(USA) has joined several nonprofits, organizations and school systems in adapting the challenge for use.
