The Importance of Mourning Small Losses: THIS article in NPR was just right. How often do we let small losses pass us by without acknowledging them or marking them?

A beautiful story about God can be found in the children's book:

What is God Like? by Rachel Held Evans and Matthew Paul Turner.

Introducing Teddy, a Gentle Story About Gender and Friendship: Again, the library wins! We saw this book on a display of books for Pride month and checked it out. It was simple, delightful, and educational.

"With love at the center of all that we do, it is our hope to journey beside our youth as they grow in faith together and discover how God is calling each one of them to use their gifts to help build a just world for all." ~ Rev. Anne Marie
