Stories are what connect us, one to the other, as human beings. The Wednesday memoir group at First Cong has been meeting weekly for more than three years. During that time, we have written and shared the stories of our lives with each other. Please join us when we share our favorite stories with all of you! We think you’ll find our stories thought-provoking and honest, funny and insightful, quirky and exciting.

This event is not to be missed. Questions: Contact Nancy Wade
