Bill Lamb will lead a 4 week Advent study on Richard Rohr's book Falling Upward.  December 1 we will watch a video conversation with Richard Rohr to introduce the book.  The subsequent weeks will each focus on one third of the book which we hope you will read in advance (though come anyway if you don't finish the reading in time).

Join us as we explore the idea that our spiritual life is not static. You will come to a crisis in your life, and after the crisis, if you are open to it, you will enter a space of spiritual refreshment, peace and compassion that you could not have imagined before. The book is considered a message for the search for meaning post retirement, but Rohr has much to say to all of us about faithful waiting, wherever we are on life's journey.
