Sunday Night Sessions 3:

Sunday September 24^th, 5-7 p.m.

THIS Sunday, September 24^th, at 5 p.m., St. John’s will present the third installment of Sunday Night Sessions-- evenings with thought-provoking speakers in the Green-Meldrim House. For Session 3, we welcome Harrison Scott Key, Thurber Prize winning author of the new book How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told. Well-known for his hilarious and confessional style, in this book Key engages honestly with faith, marriage, infidelity, and the strangeness of God’s grace. The title for his talk is “Love is a Joke: on the death and rebirth of a marriage.” Youth Group and childcare will be available for this session.  RSVP early because this will be a popular event and will reach capacity quickly. Please register online or contact Melanie Finnegan (912-856-6210) to reserve your place.
