For now, and until we can reestablish a broader volunteer base, all ages will be together in the larger meeting space (Room 203). Contact: The Rev. Nicole Lambelet.
Youth Formation: For our Spring Semester Formation, we will be reading Praying With Our Feet by Lindsey Krinks. Lindsey Krinks is a street chaplain and co-founder of Open Table Nashville—one of the ministries we will be supporting during our 2022 Summer Pilgrimage.
