Pilgrim Congregational Church will be having an Agape Meal at 6:30 P.M. on Thursday, April 1, 2010. The Agape Meal is a simple supper (soup, dried fruit, olives, bread, cheese, grapes, nuts) reminescent of the Last Supper. A reading by the Rev. Dr. Keith Alderman will be presented while guests are eating.

Following on the heels of the emotional discussions generated by Sarah’s Key which was set in WWII Paris, we return to the same topic – dealing with the “Jewish Problem” -- this time from the perspective of the German people during the same time period. Our April selection, The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, is a heart-warming yet disturbing story that will trigger many emotions in the reader. It’s a book that at first may be difficult to grasp, but once into it you won’t want to put it down.
