With her new book Fill the Room (pub. 2/17), The Rev. Dr. Joyce Parry-Moore-writer, voice and life coach, educator, and professional soprano- explores voice not as performance, but as presence: how reclaiming our voices can support healing, resistance, and connection in a culture that often asks us to be quieter or smaller.

The Golden Age of Islam is a class with Line Zeine to be offered Wednesdays, March 4, 11 and 18, 6:00-8:00 pm. We’ll explore what was happening in the Near and Middle East while Europe was moving through the Dark Middle Ages, with a brief, engaging survey of Islamic contributions to modern Western civilization.

Join us for a special Lenten talk Saturday, February 28 at 1:00 pm. Throughout Lent, in both Weekday and Sunday Readings, women appear in abundance. Just as their presence at the opening of Matthew’s Gospel presages their importance in the life of the One who follows, this Lenten gathering of women invites us into a unique feminine perspective as we now enter this holy season.

Join us Wednesdays in December as we explore Borg and Crossan's unique and compelling read of the Jesus narrative, both in their ancient setting and for us today.

All are welcome to join this group that meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 pm in the Fireplace room. We are exploring what it would mean to be followers of Jesus in our turbulent times.

The Tuesday evening book group has decided to shift from only book studies to a "Faith Exploration" group using a variety of current resources to deepen our faith.
