Upcoming Circle
Tuesday, February 8 | 1:00 PM | Westminster Hall
The FPC Literature Circle will meet Tuesday, February 8, 2022, in Westminster Hall when our FPC Communication Director, Hank Cherry, will present a Power Point presentation of the book, A STRANGER AMONG SAINTS, by Jonathan Mack.
The book relates the adventures of Stephen Hopkins, first as a shipwreck victim in 1609 on the ship, Sea Venture, off the coast of Bermuda on a voyage to Jamestown. Hopkins eventually made it to Jamestown where he lived 6 yrs. before returning to England. In 1620, he signed on to the Mayflower, a ship of religious radicals which landed off Cape Cod. Life was difficult with disease and sickness along with trouble with the Indigenous Americans. Hopkins became an essential leader from his past experiences in Jamestown and of which Hank will expand.
Men and women of all faiths are invited. The social half hour begins at 1 PM followed by the review at 1:30 PM.
