Our Church Library
It might be said that our church has the the "biggest little" library around. With well over 1300 volumes, it's a busy place most Sundays as the avid readers among us check out the latest books.
We will be featuring books from our library on this page, so you may want to check back periodically.

"Courageous" by Randy Alcorn, based on the screen play by
Alex and Stephen Kendrick
“Courageous” is a story about a group of policemen. It is not about their courage as policemen, but about the courage they require to live out their Christian commitment as fathers. The story includes considerable action, both dangerous and humorous. Tragedy, in the death of a daughter, pushes one of the men to re-evaluate his role as a father. This results in a return to studying the Bible in greater depth and the development of a plan to put “feet” into its instructions including the establishment of an accountability group. This leads to a formal commitment ceremony. The story has humor and sadness, success and failure, but most important it presents a challenge for men to be courageous fathers through faith and action. Though the focus is on the important role of fathers, the challenge to live your Christian faith in all of your daily activities is universal.
I encourage everyone to read this book (or see the movie). It is a fantastic challenge for us to live out our Christian faith within our family as well as in our everyday life. Summary by Grant
