How does forgiveness work? What’s the gap between our daily jobs and the work we really feel called to do in the world? What is the “historical Jesus” – and who can Jesus be for me now? Aren't there other ways to God than just Christianity? These are the kinds of questions we honor and explore in a small-group setting of confidentiality and support, linking up faith and life as we really live it.
2009-10 schedule in Neighborhood House:
We’re on at 12:30 for lunch, drinks, music, and theological conversation, whatever that ends up being. This fall, we're looking at an issue the recession has really brought home for us: our money and our beliefs, using the book Money and Faith: the Search for Enough. That book will be provided to you – just show up and grab a copy. The hang-out and the reads are all great ways to go deeper with each other and within ourselves.
Rsvp for lunch or childcare, by emailing the Rev. Susan Richardson, srichardson@christchurchphila.org.
Sept 20 Come back together after summer break for our favorite Mexican food - plus wine, beer, soft drink of your choice.
