GCC Great Books of Winter

Brimming with cocktails and conversation, romance and roses, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, is certainly the great tale of the 1920s “Jazz Age.”  But it is also a fooler:  Though its plot, setting, and character quickly absorb readers, its imagery is often elusive and its themes are dipped in darkness. 

On two successive Wednesday evenings, February 1 and 8, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Founders Room, GCC’s “2012 Great Books of Winter” series—sponsored by the Board of Adult Education and led by veteran teacher Allan Ruter—will gather readers for camaraderie and discussion of the book that, more than any other, is labeled “The Great American Novel.”  

Mention “GCC Book Club” at the Book Bin, 1151 Church Street in downtown Northbrook, and you can purchase Gatsby at a 20% discount. 

Adult Education

January 15
UCC History and Polity.  In the second of a two-part series Rev. Dr. Doug Busby discusses how our denomination evolved from the Pilgrims and the merger of four separate denominations; and looks at the religious underpinnings of our Congregational form of church government.

January 22 and 29
Introduction to Islam.  Islam is one of the three great mono-theistic religions and also one of the three, along with Judaism and Christianity, which came from the Middle East.  Join Rev. Dr. Doug Busby for a fascinating look into one
of the world’s fastest growing faiths—and a religion which shares many similarities with its older Christian counterpart.

February 5 and 12
Pilgrimage to Israel and Palestine—Kelly Golding, Lloyd Bettis, Gretchen Grad and other GCC pilgrims share the historical, cultural, political, and spiritual insights they experienced while touring ancient and modern-day Israel and Palestine.

February 19
A Just Harvest—Join Rev. Marilyn Pagan Banks of A Just Harvest as she describes the vital work which this Chicago charity performs with help from GCC and other local churches.

February 26 through April 1 (6 Sundays)
Watch for future announcements of an Adult   Ed Lenten series on “Connecting With Your Spiritual Self”, as we walk together From Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday and prepare for Holy Week.

Join us Sunday mornings at 8:50 in the Chapel for these exciting and mind-stretching programs.  Seating is limited.  Please arrive early to get a good seat.

Pageant CD
To capture this tradition, this year the choir, instrumentalists of the church, and friends spent an incredible week in October rehearsing and recording the music and narration of the Pageant. Now you will be able to listen to the entire pageant wherever you are and imagine you are here in the sanctuary. You can close your eyes and envision yourself or your children or grandchildren performing their roles on the stage. This keepsake will be available at the pageant. It will be a treasure to own.
