September 25th, 2008 Book Discussion Group Selection: Lynette's Hope: The Witness of Lynette Hoppe's Life and Death


- compiled and edited by Fr. Luke A. Veronis

From the book jacket: " Now we have to live whatever we have ever preached to others," Lynette Hoppe wrote in her journal. "I have been classified as having Stage 4 cancer, and my prospects are rather grim. Nonetheless, I remain cheerful and hopeful and want to spend what years God grants me in joy and thanksgiving, serving as and wherever I can." With these sober yet hopeful words, Orthodox missionary to Albania, Lynette Hoppe, began the last journey of her fruitful life. In frank and poignant prose, Lynette's journals, newsletters and website chronicles her struggles in the "valley of the shadow" as she faced impending death.

The Book Discussion Group will be held on September 25, 2008 at 7:00 in the Church parlor. The guest host will be Beth Mellas. Joining the Book Discussion Group is a very uplifting experience. We learn about our faith and how to tap God's love to work in our lives as a source of strength in meeting our daily challenges. Make a note of it!
