Special Intergenerational Events

Mt. Carmel values both fun and education that can be done with all our generations of
learners. Several times a year, we have a congregation-wide event – often
after worship – that involves people of all ages in the celebration.

- “Jesus: A Novel” ~ A Bookgroup/Bible Study
For five weeks this fall, we’ll be reading Walter Wangerin Jr.’s novel, “Jesus”.
Wangerin, a masterful storyteller, tells the story of Jesus with careful adherence to the Biblical text,
but from different points of view, in different voices, with additional historical details.
The novel is not a difficult read. We’ll meet weekly to discuss it and the Biblical texts from
which the story is taken – half bookgroup, half Bible Study! Starts Tuesday, Sept. 14th 6:30-7:30 p.m.
