Join Pastor Amy for book club on Monday, September 28, 2026, from 7:00–8:30 PM in the parlor as we discuss Joyful Anyway by Kate Bowler.
In Joyful Anyway, Bowler shares her personal experience alongside stories and insight from historians, philosophers, and religious scholars to offer an original and inspiring understanding of joy.
This is a kind of joy that is different from happiness, and it does not depend on resolving the things that make life difficult. Drawing on a decade of living with serious illness and a lifetime as a divinity professor studying America’s obsession with progress, Bowler shows why the relentless pursuit of happiness may keep us from experiencing true joy.
Come for thoughtful conversation, meaningful reflection, and time together in community.
