Don't Miss This
Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!
We'll Partner with
MLK Christian Church
for a Winter Bible Study
(March and April, 2010)

(Please note that this study was postponed due to the inclement weather in February.)

In March and April we will study the book, Same Kind of Different as Me, by Denver Moore and Ron Hall during our Wednesday evening Bible Study.  The Martin Luther King, Jr. Christian Church (Pastor Jean Casey Robinson's church) will be studying the same book during this time. 

Same Kind of Different As Me has spent 67 weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers List.  Published in 2004, this true story of faith and friendship formed between three people of different races, incomes and personal histories, and has grown in popularity until reaching its current position as the thirteenth best selling non-fiction book in the United States.  Samuel Jackson has already signed to play the lead role in an upcoming movie.

The book will provide one component of our Wednesday Bible Study (7:00 p.m.) for six weeks in March and April.  Each week, our discussion will focus on readings from this inspirational story and related passages of Scripture.

This book is so rich, however, that Pastor Jean Robinson Casey and I have decided to read it at the same time and share our thoughts with one another.  In addition, we want to give the same opportunity to members of our respective congregations.  Rev. Casey will invite volunteers from MLK Christian Church to pair up with volunteers from our church to read through the book and share responses to provided questions through e-mail or phone calls.  Volunteers from our church simply need to commit to reading the book  in March and April and communicating with their “pen pal” from the Martin Luther King Christian Church a few times during the reading.  Then, to conclude this emphasis, we will travel to the MLK Christian Church on a Sunday in April at 4:30 p.m. for a service of celebration of the experience.  Volunteers do not need to attend the celebration service in order to participate in the reading program.  Also, people who do not participate in the reading can still attend the celebration service.


A sign-up sheet for participation in this enriching experience will be available in the church foyer. The book can be purchased at any book store or online book seller.
