The Tears of Things
Alternating Tuesdays 7:00PM – 8:00PM
It seems that the post WWII order we have grown accustomed to is crumbling all around us. Didn’t we learn anything? There is a gnawing feeling that there must be something better. We live in a time when the Christianity we were raised to believe is giving way to a new broader, expansive and meaningful Faith that includes God inspired justice.
Join us as Scott Hagedorn and Mike Chakoian moderate a discussion series exploring the way of both ancient Hebrew and contemporary prophets. What does it mean to be a prophet and how can the prophetic voice provide a constructive roadmap to a new order based on the teachings of Jesus through the lens of Franciscan Friar Richard Rohr in his new book “The Tears Of Things – Prophetic Wisdom For An Age Of Outrage”

The Spirituality of Aging
If you’re living, you’re aging. Let’s talk about that. This 6-session discussion group will gather each week to consider a poem, a story, and a Bible passage. Together we’ll share wisdom and ask questions about identity, connection, purpose, loss, change, and joy.

Hosted by Pastor Emily
