Sunday Forums Return in October

All Are Welcome: Belonging in the Christian Community

Beginning on Sunday, October 10 in the main sanctuary (10:15–11:00 a.m.), join us for conversations about what it means for us to be members of the Beloved Community. Think of it as a 101 course about the church universal—what it means for us to belong to one another and commit to welcoming the stranger into our midst. As we engage these conversations, we are excited to welcome Laura Steed-Lorino, the Executive Director of L’Arche North Carolina: an inclusive community in formation where adults with and without intellectual disabilities share life and friendships.
