We hope you’ll join us in study and conversation centered around discernment using a curriculum titled, “God’s GPS: Finding Your Way With Faith.” The majority of Life Groups will meet on Wednesday evenings, following Open Table.  Click the button below to signup.

Wednesdays in September
6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall and on Zoom
For most of us, thinking about and planning for the end of our lives, or those of our loved ones, is something we’d rather put off for another day. But responsible, faithful thought and preparation for the inevitability of the end of our earthly lives can be a true gift to ourselves and our families. In this series, we will consider what it means to take seriously the truth of our mortality, and what we can do now to be more prepared in the future.

September 3: To Dust You Shall Return
What does it mean for us to live faithfully and fully with an appropriate awareness of our human mortality? We’ll begin the series with a discussion of the practical and theological considerations around end-of-life planning. Led by Katherine Kerr and Karen Willis.

September 10: Hospice and Palliative Care
Led by Walt Windley, Senior Director of Spiritual Care and Grief Services, VIA Healthcare Partners.
