Suggested Reading: Every month, Pastor Shannon gives a suggested reading to the congregation. We need to all be reading! Rev. Shannon tries to make the books he suggests range from different topics, dates, age groups, fiction/nonfiction and authors. He does not suggest a book he has not read himself. Below you will find a list of those Suggested Readings. We will keep this list updated month by month. Hopefully you will find a book or two on this list that will deepen your relationship with Christ.
