Fall Book Group
Beginning in November, join us for a 7 week discussion of Bubble Girl: An irreverent journey of faith by Kathryn Banakis.
Part memoir, part practical theology, Bubble Girl is the story of a young, edgy woman from a big, loud, ethnic Chicago family, deciding who she wants to be as a Christian adult. The book seamlessly weaves together iconic tales of this in their twenties and thirties--isolation, unemployment, virtual and real relationships, and rodent infestations-with theological reflection.
Bubble Girl is a great introduction to Christian Theology from a young, funny, personal, Episcopal priest's perspective.
This group will be geared towards, but not limited to, young adults in their 20's and 30's. (In other words, if you're older or younger and want to come, we'll still be super glad to see you!)
Sign up below to join in the discussion in person (we'll meet at St. Gregory's on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM--right after 6PM Evening Prayer--then head somewhere nearby to grab dinner and talk) or to join the discussion online anytime during the week. Contact Sylvia with questions.
