Humanity New (Week Nineteen)

EX^LT – FRIDAYS

EX^LT is a college age ministry at FBC designed for high school seniors through young adults. EX^LT is a weekly time of fellowship, connection, accountability, worship, and scripture discussion. Our purpose is to provide a safe space for a college age community to gather, worship, learn, and share life together. We meet on Fridays at FBC, in Room 302. Arrive at 6:30 PM for refreshments before we kick things off at 7:00 PM. Bring a friend and we hope to see you there. Click here to sign up!

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.
