New Grow Book Group

The public is welcome to attend Atlanta First United Methodist Church's new Grow book group.

On Friday, April 22, the Atlanta First United Methodist Church announced on Facebook that a Grow book club via Zoom meeting would be held on the fourth Monday of each month.

Discussions about the spiritual implications of several famous works will begin in May, according to the church's announcement.

According to Atlanta First United Methodist Church, they will read Chibundu Onuzo's Sankofa during the first month.

Sankofa is a Ghanaian symbol for a bird flying backward in search of new meaning and insight, which is exactly what the main heroine, Anna, undertakes in this book, according to the church.

Despite a series of setbacks in her life, including a divorce and the loss of her mother, she begins on a voyage of self-discovery by journeying back in time to comprehend her current situation.

While searching for answers, she discovers that her father, whom she never met, is still alive and, according to the church, serves as the leader of a small African country.

The church said that it would provide conversation topics as well as a connection to the Zoom participant.
