Beware the Granfalloon

To my great surprise, it turns out that my congregation didn't spend its adolescence reading Kurt Vonnegut like I did, so the terms Granfalloon, Bokononism and calypsos were pretty much a mystery to them. Turns out they never heard of Saint Simeon Stylites the Elder, either, but we made it through, just the same.

The Book Club

Did you ever notice how, when people speak of the Bible, what they really are talking about is little fiddly bits of Scripture they have memorized? You don't often hear people recite a story from the Bible and then discuss what the narrative means. My feeling is that we are willing to give our hearts to narrative on TV or in the movies, but we somehow feel that's not quite appropriate for Bible study. Join the Congregation of Community Presbyterian Church of Bellefonte, Kentucky as we study two great books: Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" and Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment". All in 17 minutes in our sermon, "The Book Club" by clicking HERE for text or HERE for audio.
