Beginning February 14, join us on Wednesdays at 4:00 PM on Zoom when our explorations of the Bible this Lent will be guided by The Gospel According to the Blues, by Gary Burnett. A review of this book notes:

“The Gospel According to the Blues dares us to read the gospel in conversation with Robert Johnson, Son House, and Muddy Waters. It suggests that thinking about the blues—the history, the artists, the songs—provides good stimulation for thinking about the Christian gospel. Both are about a world gone wrong, about injustice, about the human condition, and both are about hope for a better world. In this book, Gary Burnett probes both the gospel and the history of the blues as we find it in the gospels, to help us understand better the nature of the good news which Jesus preached, and its relevance and challenge to us.”

Pastor Karen will teach and lead the discussions.

The book is available in paperback and electronic formats through several online booksellers. If you would like the church to order it for you, please call the church office.
