CALLING ALL WOMEN
In the Celtic tradition, thin places are the places where the real, natural world merge with the heavenly, spiritual world. We will seek to experience those “thin” spaces through reading, study and building community where we hear God’s voice in new ways. Join us on Tuesdays beginning September 22 from 6:30-8pm under one the tents on the south lawn. Present Over Perfect by Christian author and speaker, Shauna Niequist will be our first book that we will read and discuss.
