Faith, Hope, and Lunch will resume meeting beginning Monday, September 20^th and will meet through Monday, December 13^th. We will not meet on October 11 (Columbus Day) and November 22 (Thanksgiving week and early release day for Montgomery County Schools). We will meet from 12 noon to 1:00 pm in person at the church. Hopefully, if the weather is nice, we can meet outside unmasked and if the weather is bad, we will meet inside the church, masked. Obviously, as COVID rates go up and down, booster shots are offered, and county mandates change, we can adjust our meeting protocols and/or go back to Zoom if needed.

We will read:  The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World by Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu.

And our world is certainly changing, and we could use a little joy! So, this will be our first book this fall. Let’s plan to read and discuss the books “Introduction” for our first meeting on September 20^th. Please also bring to our first meeting ideas for other books that we might read this year.
