Chatham's Summer Reading Club is an opportunity for us to read and discuss a book together as a church over the summer.
For 2025, we're reading "The Bookends of the Christian Life" by Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington. The authors use the creative metaphor of "bookends" to help us fully embrace the two things that are absolutely crucial for staying steady in the Christian life: Our justification in Christ and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. This book serves as a guide to experiencing the peace, joys and stability we all desire.
This title is available to borrow and download for free as an e-book from Hoopla via the St. Louis County Library.
You can also pick up a Summer Reading Club bookmark in the Learning Center and Worship Center foyers. (Coming soon!)
In August, we'll enjoy a Summer Reading Club Discussion during our
regular Formation Class time at 9 a.m.
We hope you'll join us in reading this summer!
