Join us for a virtual book group on Zoom on Wednesday evenings, June 7 – July 19, 2023 at 7:00 pm. “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” by Annie Dillard is at once poetry, prayer, philosophy, and a nature walk without a plan. It can awaken wonder, humor, memory, and a transcendent consciousness; tune in and share your impression of the beauty and spiritual implications of this work. Email Gerri Batchelor (gerrikairos@gmail.com) to register.
We will be offering Rachel Held Evans’ last book, “Wholehearted Faith,” during the last 6 weeks of the summer. More information will be coming.
