WHERE: Haydenville Congregational Church, 143 Main St.
This month’s book:
Life of the Beloved:Spiritual Living in a Secular World
What is our place in the world in God's eyes? How can we blend service and spiritual worship with the harshness of the everyday world? How can we, imperfect and each broken in our own way, feel beloved by the Almighty? Nouwen ponders these topics in an open letter to a troubled friend. Methodically, the former instructor at both Harvard and Yale walks us through analogies and insights that bring us to a place of feeling beloved.
Contact Shaun for more details. Study guides will be provided.
