Hard Conversations
Hard Conversations is our ongoing series exploring current events and hot-button issues through the lens of faith. Every voice matters. Every perspective teaches us something. This is how we practice loving inclusively: listening across differences, deepening our faith, and growing in understanding of one another.
No debate. No agenda. Just people committed to listening well and loving better.

Monday Morning Bible Study
This Fall we’ll dive into two powerful voices from scripture: Amos and Isaiah.
Amos came from humble beginnings, yet boldly spoke truth to the powerful, calling out injustice and lifting up the poor. His words about justice rolling down like mighty waters later inspired Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Isaiah gave us some of the most beautiful visions of hope and restoration in the Bible. And we’ll also peek into Ezekiel, with his unforgettable visions—like the wheel in the middle of a wheel, echoed in African American spirituals.
We’ll meet on Monday mornings from 7:30–8:30 a.m. on Zoom—a new time to begin the week with a jolt of truth, hope, and God’s call for justice that still speaks today.
Come ready to learn, discuss, and be inspired. Perfect for the commuter!

Tuesdays With Marc - AM and PM
When Things Fall Apart, From May 26th-June 30th
Tuesdays with Marc will be reading together When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön. It’s a small but deeply wise book about what it means to remain open when life feels uncertain, tender, or undone. Rather than offering quick fixes or easy answers, Pema gently invites us to stop running from our lives and begin meeting them with greater honesty, compassion, and courage. Together, we’ll explore themes like fear, vulnerability, loneliness, hope, and the surprising possibility that the places where we feel most fragile may also become places of awakening and grace.
Tuesdays with Marc is a space to slow down, move from getting here to being here, and listen more deeply—to our lives, to one another, and perhaps to the quiet wisdom moving beneath it all.
Join us: Tuesday Mornings – 7:30 a.m.(Hybrid: Library & Zoom)
Tuesday Evenings – 7:30 p.m.(Online)
