St. Croix United Book Club
St. Croix United Book Club is open to the wider community!
We read theologically progressive books by diverse authors.
Calling all readers! Watch for upcoming dates and books here!
Throughout the season of Lent, we will be exploring Brene Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience.
Join us Wednesday evenings, Feb. 21- March 20 at 6:30pm at St. Croix United Church or via Zoom. (email Megan to receive the Zoom link at [email protected])
"This is one reason we need to dispel the myth that empathy is “walking in someone else’s shoes.” Rather than walking in your shoes, I need to learn how to listen to the story you tell about what it’s like in your shoes and believe you even when it doesn’t match my experiences."
Learn more about the book here.
