December Energy Action: As we enter this season of anticipation, we can help ease any stress with gift giving by encouraging you to buy less stuff! Please take a look at the December Energy Action Sheet for ideas and tips on what you can do to show others you’re thinking of them without buying more things. Buy your sibling a special date of time spent doing something fun together, or purchase a “gift” of chickens, goats, or education through World Vision, Heifer International, or Compassion International in honor of a loved one to benefit needy families in developing countries.

Faith+Art Book Club: Talking about faith and art over tea in a bookshop with friends —what could be lovelier? Join us monthly at 7pm at Morgenstern Books. We’ll explore the intersection of faith and art through captivating stories in both fiction and nonfiction. Our first title is Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. Our first meeting will be Jan. 23rd at 7pm. Learn more from the informational flyer and sign up at the Welcome Center.
