The FBC Library, The Cross Reference, has a Book Club for everyone who reads and loves books – all are invited! In fact, bring your book-loving friends too. Sign up to join the Book Club Group in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here. We appreciate your RSVP so that we know how many are going to join us for this fabulous time of sharing and fellowship!

The Cross Reference Book Club book for March: Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace Throughout Holy Week by Jason Porterfield.

Brief overview:
Throughout Holy Week, two competing approaches to peacemaking collide. What if we’ve embraced the wrong one? We desperately need to recover the radical vision of peacemaking that Jesus embodied throughout Holy Week. And we urgently need to be trained in his way of making peace. So, come. Let’s journey together day-by-day through Jesus’ final week and discover anew why he is called the Prince of Peace.

View the book on Amazon here.

We look forward to hearing what you learned from reading this book at our next meeting on Saturday, March 25 at **6:30 PM** at the Frater Library. Join the group and RSVP so that we know you’re participating. You can join the Book Club Group and RSVP in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here.

Come join us whether you’ve read the book or not – we welcome all discussion. We’re excited to see you!

NEW LADIES BREAKOUT SESSION COMING NEXT WEEK – 3/26

Coming soon: a new Ladies Breakout Session, Jude: Called, Loved, & Kept. Please join the Group in the Church App to have access to materials and more information. In this group you will be able to get reminders for each session, message other session attendees, and have access to group resources.

This group is for ladies age 16 and older. This inductive study is 5 weeks long, and the dates are listed for your convenience. We will meet in Room 307 on Sundays at 11:00 AM. If you can’t make all of the dates, come to whichever ones you can! There is no book necessary for this session, all materials will be provided. All you need to bring is yourself, a pen, and maybe colored pencils if that’s your jam.

Can’t wait to see you there! Join the group here.

Study description:
This is a deep dive Bible study into the book of Jude. Have you every wondered what this little epistle is really all about. After all, with only one chapter and 25 verses in length, how important could it really be? Why in the world would it take 5 weeks to study this tiny little letter? You’d be surprised how much “gold” we are going to mine from this little book.
Join this journey from the New Testament to the beginning of time and back again. We’ll be using the inductive study methods of observation, interpretation and application without all the extensive work of a regular PRECEPT study.

We appreciate your RSVP so that we know how many are going to join us for this fabulous time of sharing and fellowship!

The Cross Reference Book Club book for February: My Body is Not a Prayer Request by Amy Kenny.

From the back cover:
Much of the church has forgotten that we worship a disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection, says Amy Kenny. It is time for the church to start treating disabled people as full members of the body of Christ who have much more to offer than a miraculous cure narrative and to learn from their embodied experiences.

Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members of the body of Christ.

Get the book here at this Amazon link

We look forward to hearing what you learned from reading this book at our next meeting on Saturday, February 25 at 9:30 AM at the Frater Library. Join the group and RSVP so that we know you’re participating. You can join the Book Club Group and RSVP in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here.

Looking for additional book recommendations? Check out this book list. It will keep growing through the months as we find more to add to it. We are also working on a list of coming Book Club books for the year, so keep an eye out for that in coming weeks!

We’re excited to see you at the next Cross Reference Book Club.

• Living a Life of True Worship for ladies
with Stacy Mouat – Please click here for a study description, book info, and to join the Breakout Session Group.

Each lesson is designed to draw you into God’s Word through basic inductive Bible study. No homework is required, so everyone in the group can work through the lesson together at the same time. Open to ladies age 16 and older
– Meets in Room 307

• Kinsman Redeemer
with Will Mouat – How does the book of Leviticus tie into the book of Ruth and ultimately connect to Jesus? Come join us for a three week study on a beautiful principle and responsibility God laid out at the beginning of the nation of Israel, how He demonstrated it in the time of the Judges, and how it finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus – and the impact that has for us today. Open to youth and adults
– Meets in Room 101

LIBRARY BOOK CLUB – SATURDAY 2/25

The FBC Library, The Cross Reference, has a Book Club – and it is for everyone who reads and loves books – all are invited! In fact, bring your book-loving friends too. Sign up to join the Book Club Group in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here. We appreciate your RSVP so that we know how many are going to join us for this fabulous time of sharing and fellowship!

The Cross Reference Book Club book for February: My Body is Not a Prayer Request by Amy Kenny.

From the back cover:
Much of the church has forgotten that we worship a disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection, says Amy Kenny. It is time for the church to start treating disabled people as full members of the body of Christ who have much more to offer than a miraculous cure narrative and to learn from their embodied experiences.

Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members of the body of Christ.

Get the book here at this Amazon link

We look forward to hearing what you learned from reading this book at our next meeting on Saturday, February 25 at 9:30 AM at the Frater Library. Join the group and RSVP so that we know you’re participating. You can join the Book Club Group and RSVP in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here.

Looking for additional book recommendations? Check out this book list. It will keep growing through the months as we find more to add to it. We are also working on a list of coming Book Club books for the year, so keep an eye out for that in coming weeks!

We’re excited to see you at the next Cross Reference Book Club.
