On the morning of the first Sunday of every month, members of the church and community gather for stimulating conversation focusing on a selected topic.
On Sunday, March 6, the topic will be “Homelessness: What Does It Really Mean?” with guest speaker Dorothy Edwards. Dorothy experienced being without shelter and is now employed and a counselor. All are welcome to join us for what is certain to be a thought-provoking discussion.
We will meet at 8:45 am in the St. John’s Room before the service.
