The BGLibrary is open and ready for your business. And what better time to search out a few good reads than now when you’re probably spending more time at home than ever before? If you’re coming to church to pick up communion supplies, detour into the library for a moment. If you’re coming to a new session of indoor worship, detour to the library. Just remember keep socially distanced and to wash/sanitize before and after handling books.
On the “sanctuary wall” in the library are books from Barbara Galle’s personal collection. You remember that Barbara was the Holy Trinity librarian who set us up in the present location. How fitting that now some of her favorite personal reads are in the same space!
We also have a display table in the narthex with books about social issues of today—social equality, systemic racism, fairness in government, mental health, etc. Pastor Tim challenges us every Sunday morning to think more deeply about how Christians should handle social issues. These reads are a good place to begin. On this same table you’ll find copies of the Forum fourth Wednesday discussion series. October’s choice is The Elephant Whisperer by Laurence Anthony. Same Kind of Different As Me is for November, and Bear Town is for December.
