Join Us for Our August–October Book Series: Stories of Faith, Justice, and Resilience
You are warmly invited to a special monthly book discussion series this fall, hosted in the Lounge. From August through October, we’ll gather to explore powerful books that share real stories of grief, identity, resilience, and justice. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to walk with one another in compassion and faith, and how we can be agents of love in a hurting world.
Whether you’ve read every page or just want to listen in, come as you are—everyone is welcome.

August: If God Is Love, Don’t Be a Jerk
Pastor and author John Pavlovitz challenges us to rethink how our faith shapes the way we treat others. With honesty and humor, he invites us to move beyond fear and exclusion—and to embrace a life rooted in love, humility, and compassion. A powerful read for anyone yearning for an authentic, justice-centered faith.
September: Nobody Cries When We Die
Patrick Reyes weaves his Latinx experience into a bold reflection on survival, purpose, and reclaiming our voices. A call to honor our stories, lift up marginalized lives, and work toward liberation and community.
October: Blood Brothers
This deeply moving memoir by Palestinian Christian priest Elias Chacour traces his journey through conflict and displacement in Galilee. It’s a testament to faith, forgiveness, and the tireless pursuit of peace and justice.
