Tuesdays beginning February 21 6:30 p.m. Dinner and childcare are free. For more info make a note on your Connection Card.

"When God was merciful, when God revealed Jesus Christ to us as our Brother, when God won our hearts by God's love, this was the beginning of our instruction in divine love...what God did to us, we owe to others...Thus God taught us to meet one another as God has met us in Christ." Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Life Together
