The Shack Book Study
Join Pastor Cricket for a 3-week journey exploring William P. Young’s powerful novel The Shack. This modern Christian classic invites us to wrestle with deep questions about God, suffering, forgiveness, and healing through the story of Mack’s life-changing encounter with the Trinity.
We’ll meet on Wednesdays, September 10, 17, and 24 from 7–8:30pm in the Theater Room (Room 302). The first two sessions will focus on book discussion, and our final gathering will be a movie night to watch The Shack together.

From Inclusion to Belonging: Creating Congregations That Embrace All
How can our churches move beyond simply “including” people with disabilities to creating communities where everyone truly belongs? How do we create spaces where people with developmental disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, and their families feel seen, valued, and fully part of the Body of Christ?
Haddonfield UMC invites you to a special afternoon on Saturday, September 27, from 1-4pm in the Sanctuary at Haddonfield UMC, with Bill Gaventa, one of the nation’s leading voices in faith and disability ministry. Through a mix of presentations, discussions, and panels, we will explore the journey from inclusion to belonging, learning practical ways to transform our congregations. All are welcome to this free event. Registration is required. Click the button below to register today!
