Spiritual Formation
Join us for Adult Spiritual Formation by Zoom at 9:00 am or show up in the Shadow Rock Multipurpose Room! Our topic for October is "Wading Into Theology," informed by Elizabeth Johnson's Quest for the Living God. This week, our topic is "God Acting Womanish," an expansive and specifically anti-racist expression of feminist theology. Everyone is welcome - come prepared to experience and evolve!
