Upcoming Events
“Romancing Normal” by L. Flick Hatcher
Book Reading, Conversation, and Signing with the author
Monday, August 31
12:30 PM in Nemura Hall
From light-hearted to heart-breaking, Romancing Normal follows the journey of Drew Carter, a romantic, closeted baby-boomer whose mission is to date gay away by finding a woman who so captivates his heart that his lust for men is obliterated, leaving him free to fulfill The Plan: Great job, beautiful wife, 2.5 kids, white picket fence, and Ford Country Squire station wagon. Maybe even a pony. From straight to gay to grey, Drew learns to love himself and fulfills a plan even greater than he’d hoped for, proving that nice guys don’t finish last. Please join us!

We gather in Nemura Hall for coffee and fellowship. Hosting a Coffee Hour is a great way to get to know our Christ Church family. AND It’s easy! Instructions and training available. Make coffee, set it out with the iced tea & lemonade (premade). Snacks available in the kitchen, or bring your own (fruits, hummus, cut vegetables) if you wish.
