The theme for the upcoming program year is “The Gospel According to…” This year, we will explore the Gospel story through different perspectives and voices.

Our second book, Praying Shapes Believing by Ruth Meyers and Leonel L. Mitchell, offers insight into our liturgies and explores the Gospel according to our worship.
Discussions begin Sunday, September 6 at 9am with "The Gospel According to Peanuts."
All are welcome to join us for thoughtful conversation, reflection, and exploration as we consider the many ways the Gospel speaks to us.
