Christ is Risen! What's Next?
You are invited to join us for a conversation about life and faith. We will explore questions of "presence" and "absence", what it's like to have a mission in life, and what it might mean to follow this strange Rabbi from Galilee whose followers claim was raised from the dead.
Our conversation will be guided by a book by a well-beloved author on the spiritual life, Henri Nouwen.
You are encouraged to purchase the book at this link here: With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life
NOTE: the hardcover option is cheaper!

Entering Communion
This fourth week we will discuss what we read in Chapter 4 of our book and dig into how God remains close to us and seeks to be uncomfortably close to us and in our lives.

Going on a Mission
This last week we will wonder about what we read in Chapter 5 of our book and discover that each person has a call on their life- a quest or mission that only they can fulfill. This gives meaning and purpose to our lives and benefits our neighbors.
