Are you interested in taking part in a year-long program that offers spiritual deepening and connection? Please consider participating in our Wellspring program, starting in January and running through December. This program offers multiple curricula, and we are hoping to run at least two different groups this year. This curriculum is especially good for people in transition who need a little grounding, people stepping down from leadership roles who want to nurture their inner life, parents who desire a sense of purpose in their parenting, and retirees who have newfound free time and want to dig deeper into legacy and purpose.

Rev. Jack is trying his best to get a sense of who is interested in participating in a Wellspring group and who might be interested to co-facilitate a group. Please fill out the following form to express your interest in this program: https://bit.ly/wellspring-2026
