This book will ground our discussions on cultivating courage\, compassion\, and resilience within a supportive faith community.. We invite you to read this book and then gather to discuss it after the Sunday service on August 16\, 11:00am\, in the Multi-Purpose Room. \n  \nClick here to learn more about our Summer Syllabus.
