- Lenten Book Discussion: Please join us on March 13th at 7pm for our discussion of “Ragged: Spiritual Disciplines for the Spiritually Exhausted” by Gretchen Ronnevik (click here for flyer). Most books on the spiritual disciplines are heavy on the law. Gretchen takes a different approach. By starting with Grace, she shows that the disciplines are a gift, not a burden. In the spirit of limiting our burdens, we are hosting the discussion over Zoom as a means of caring for those who travel a distance to join us or maybe just don’t like driving at night. Please click here to email Michael for a link.
