Hops & Hope

4th Tuesday monthly (Sept - May)

6:00pm at local breweries

Join us each month as we read a book on faith, justice and what it means to find hope in Christ amid a messy and complex world. Each month we will read a book and gather at Immanuel (bring your favorite beverage!) to discuss and explore how the words we read impact the lives we live. All are welcome to join, whether you finish the book or not. 

Questions? Contact Deacon Savannah Olaphson.

September/October

Hackamore Brewing in Chanhassen

September 29 @ 6:00pm

Book

For our first book of the Fall, we will be reading and discussing Sacred Curiosity: Wondering Our Way Toward Wholeness by Britney Winn Lee. We will plan to discuss Chapter 1-6 in September and the second half of the book in October. 

As always, everyone is welcome to join each month whether you've completed the readings or not.

Ordering Books

Savannah will be ordering a copy of each for the Immanuel library if you’d like to borrow it, or if you prefer to buy a copy of your own, here are a couple links that help you support local bookstores through your purchase. If you’re looking to support a Native owned bookstore, Birchbark Books in Minneapolis is a great option!

  • Bookshop - online book retailer with lots of inventory, and you choose the bookstore that will be supported through your purchase 
  • Book Store Link - helps you order directly from local bookstores (can either have them delivered or picked up)

Some ideas for topics include (but aren’t limited to):

  • Racial Justice / Womanist or Black Theology
  • Liberation Theology
  • Mujerista Theology
  • Native/Indigenous Theology
  • Immigration and Welcoming the Stranger
  • Asian Theology
  • Interfaith / Global Perspectives
  • Faith and Sexuality
  • Environmental Theology
  • Women’s Rights / Feminist Theologies
  • Food or Economic Justic
  • Theology and Mental Health
