BREWED THEOLOGY: TONIGHT!
Topic: Troubling Times/Guided by Gratitude
Tuesday, June 25 at 6:00pm
Whether you've attended or not, there's one more chance this year to gather over some "Crafted Conversation." On June 25th, Brewed Theology is coming to FLC's grounds! We'll set up picnic tables, light a campfire, fire up the grill, and have a conversation about Gratitude. Amid all the division, busyness, and consumerism in our world, we're going to take some time to talk about the life-giving, community-strengthening, resentment-quashing power of gratitude. This will be a BYOB (bring your own beverage) event, and BYOM (bring your own meat) to put on the grill. Be sure and RSVP HERE so we can prepare to be community together. (And if you forget to RSVP, that’s ok, you can still come anyway.)
