Gratitude Journal Prompts (Resources/Gratitude Journal Prompts)
The Stewardship Ministry has compiled a “Gratitude Journal” that will be made available for everyone on a table outside the sanctuary or contact the office if you’d like to have a gratitude journal sent to you. The Gratitude Journal prompts are also available to download It is meant to be a daily journal where you can spend five minutes a day thinking of the things for which you are grateful. There will be prompts to help you get the ball rolling such as: Things I love, What brings me joy, and What positive things have happened in the course of my day.
Book Club News
The book selected for October is The Book of Hope - A Survival Guide for
Trying Times by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams with Gail Hudson.
Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, focuses on her "Four Reasons for
Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People,
and The Indomitable Human Spirit - explored through intimate and thought-provoking
dialogue. Vital questions are touched upon including: How do we stay hopeful when
everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship
between hope and action? The book is filled with moving and inspirational stories and
photographs from Jane’s remarkable career.
Read the book and join us on Saturday, October 19 at 10:00 for a discussion sure to be filled
with hope!
