Leith Lectures 2024



For this year's Leith Lecture Series we look forward to welcoming author Rev. Mary Ann McKibben Dana (August 17-18 - more details to come.) In anticipation of this event, we will be offering a summer book club to explore her book, Hope: A User's Manual. 


We will meet several times in July. (Check out the dates in the graphic!) 

While summer tends to be a time of travel and sabbath for many of us, we hope you will join us as you are able for our summer worship series: I've Been Meaning to Ask. This eight week series draws from resources from A Sanctified Art, helping us to reflect upon biblical stories and faith-forming questions like: 


  • Where are you from? 
  • Where does it hurt? 
  • What do you need? 
  • Where do we go from here?


There is a study journal available to accompany this worship series. If you would like a digital or printed copy, please contact Rev. Dr. Kathy Reed at kreed@fpcauburn.org.
