"The Time is Now" book discussion beginning in January
n “The Time Is Now”, Sister Joan Chittister—a rabble-rousing force of nature for social justice and fervent proponent of personal faith and spiritual fulfillment—draws on the wisdom of prophets, both ancient and modern, to help us confront the societal forces that oppress and silence the sacred voices among us.
Pairing scriptural insights with narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Sister Joan offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment.
Please join us for a discussion of this book on Sunday afternoons, 3 - 4 pm (see reading schedule below). We will meet via Zoom. Please fill out the form here to receive the Zoom link.
Jan. 16: Introduction – Chapter 4
Jan. 30: Chapter 5 – 8
Feb. 13: Chapters 9 – 13
Feb. 27: Chapters 14 – 18
The book is available through Amazon or most booksellers. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Cindy Anderau at cindyanderau@gmail.com.

Praying in Color on zoom, Jan 30, 10:45-11:45
Please join us for a 1-hour session on January 30 at 10:45. To register for the session and receive the zoom link, click here.
Based on the book by Sybil MacBeth, “Praying in Color” is a practice of using your doodles, handwriting and color to connect with God. We will spend some contemplative time making a visual prayer with very simple and organic doodles, marks and colored markers. No previous art experience necessary; this is about prayer, not drawing.
“…praying in color …is the way my hands, eyes, heart and whole body nestle into prayer.” Sybil MacBeth
