For five Wednesday evenings during Lent we will gather on Zoom to discuss Kate Bowler’s and Jessica Ritchie’s wonderful book: Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals For a Life of Imperfection.
Written gently and with humor, Good Enough is a devotional with short entries that are designed to be read each day during the 40 days of Lent. The book offers daily reassurance for all those who need to hear that there are some things we can fix—and some things we can’t. And it’s okay that life isn’t always better. In these wonderfully written reflections, Bowler and Richie offer fresh imagination for how truth, beauty and meaning can be discovered amid the chaos of life. Their words celebrate kindness, honesty, and interdependence in a culture that rewards ruthless individualism and blind optimism. Ultimately, in these pages we can rest in the encouragement to strive for what is possible today—while recognizing that though we are finite, the life in front of us can be beautiful.
Pastor Maureen and Pastor Kate will alternate as facilitators of the sessions. The book is available for pre-order on Amazon (due out Feb. 15) and we’ll have copies in the church office available purchase for $15. Each session will focus on the daily devotions for the previous seven days. If you don’t have the time or the space to add a daily reading to your plate join us anyway! We’ll pull out quotes and passages to seed our discussion and all are welcome to participate! RSVP to Pastor Maureen to receive the Zoom link, or find it on our church website in the Member section.
