Our current book is Love is the Way by Bishop Michael Curry.
Everyone is invited to join us for thoughtful meditation and discussion that addresses the seemingly insurmountable challenges facing the world today: poverty, racism, selfishness, deep ideological divisions, competing claims to speak for God. This book leads readers to discover the gifts they need in order to live the way of love: deep reservoirs of hope and resilience, simple wisdom, the discipline of nonviolence, and unshakable regard for human dignity.
Contact Kathy, katsam1964@gmail.com for more information or to express interest in joining the group.

d365, a ministry partner of the ELCA, is a daily devotion written for youth and adults.
The devotion follows a five-step format – Pause, Listen, Think, Pray, Go.
The Pause step remains the same all week and is designed as a centering tool as you begin the devotion.
The Listen step is the scripture passage for the day, using the Common English Bible translation.
The Think step is the devotional thought by the week’s writer.
The Pray step is the start of a prayer that you can expand into your own conversation with God.
The Go step is a call to action – launching you from this moment toward acting on what you have heard.
Instrumental music is available for your devotional experience. You can start the music by selecting the music notes at the top right of the screen, and then you can adjust the volume as needed.
Typically, an author writes on a single theme for one week. In these devotions, you will read honest struggles and questions, all in the context of real faith. As you read the thoughts of the writers, think about your own response to the scripture for the day. Let the writer’s words serve as background for your own conversation with God.
