"A Cup of Christmas Tea"

"A Cup of Christmas Tea" - Everyone is invited to attend!

Thursday, December 13 at 7:00 p.m. the book by Tom Hegg “A Cup of Christmas Tea” will be the highlight of the evenings program. The program will be held in the Church parlor—all women of the church are invited.

The book “A Cup of Christmas Tea” is an uplifting story of the onerous family obligations that often descend around the holidays. The narrator is almost perfectly happy as Christmas approaches, enjoying the “30 days reprieve ‘til VISA could catch up with me.” Unfortunately, he has received an invitation to tea from his great aunt, and he has no desire to go. He remembers the old woman “as vigorous, as funny and as bright” but she recently suffered a stroke, and he thinks it will be depressing to see her. Before long, though, he succumbs to “an acid rain of guilt” and forces himself to go, and the experience is ultimately rewarding. The author doesn’t employ continuous rhyme or meter, so the writing never becomes overbearing or stilted but rather has a conversational lilt. In its first edition, published in 1982, the book sold more than 1.5 million copies.

Please join us on Thursday, December 13 at 7:00 p.m. and bring a friend!

Friendship begins with a cup of kindness!
