Spirituality Sharing Circle Pausing for the Summer

As we change gears for Summer schedule, the Wednesday night sharing circle will pause for the summer.

We suggest you might like to take the summer to

1) read some resource or book that is edifying for you in your spiritual life.

2) Choose one day a week, whether at home or on vacation, to jot down in a journal where you have seen God in the last week.

Wednesday nights will be back up after Labor Day.
