GATHERING AROUND THE KITCHEN TABLEGood news! “Gathering” is resuming Thursday, September 18th! You are invited to gather together and enjoy these informal afternoons with friends as we explore and reflect on various aspects of our life of faith--and how this informs the choices we make as we encounter the important issues of today’s world. This fall we will using Bishop Mariann Budde’s book “How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith” to focus our time together. I think Bishop Budde’s will lead us into some very interesting conversations. We will also include other topics of interest from time to time. Handouts will be send out early each week to help bring a focus to our conversation. So bring your coffee or tea or “whatever” and gather around our virtual kitchen table.
