Capital Campaign Update, 9/26—We’ll gather after worship (same Zoom link) for an update from our Board of Trustees about the Capital Campaign and many planned renovations that have already been accomplished.

FaithLife, 9/26—The FaithLife group meets once a month, Sundays from 5:30-7 pm. It’s dedicated to engaging the connections between faith, life, theology, and personal experience. All are welcome, however heretical you feel! This fall we’ll focus on Learning to Pray: A Guide for Everyone, by James Martin, who is a Jesuit priest and regular guest on the Stephen Colbert show. The book “explains what prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives.” For more information and the Zoom link: dansack1962@gmail.com.
