Faith on Fire
Led by Justin Keith
The spark of life within all of us is capable of unimaginable beauty or terrible tragedy. Like the flame of a match that could light a lantern or start a forest fire, cook a meal, or burn down a house; what will your spark ignite?

Sunday, July 7
Turtles in Time
Led by Gretchen Robinson
Based on an enchanting book by Sy Montgomery. As we slow down for summer, let us reflect on time, to see with new eyes, and to cherish and protect the non-human creatures which ‘people’ the earth–for some may just cross our path this summer.
