๐๐ข๐ญ๐ก, ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐You are warmly invited to a special monthly book discussion series this fall, hosted in the Lounge. From August through October, weโll gather to explore powerful books that share real stories of grief, identity, resilience, and justice. Together, weโll reflect on what it means to walk with one another in compassion and faith, and how we can be agents of love in a hurting world.
Whether youโve read every page or just want to listen in, come as you areโeveryone is welcome.
