Enrichment: Start of Fall Book Study – ‘The Whole Language’ by Fr Greg Boyle September 13 and November 15, from 10-11:30 a.m.
If you have read either of his previous books (Tattoos on the Heart and Barking to the Choir) you know what an impactful and wonderful writer he is. Both are filled with poignant stories of encouragement, humor and hope. “His moving stories challenge our ideas about God and about people, providing a window into a world filled with fellowship, compassion and fewer barriers.” The Whole Language invites us to treat ourselves and others with tenderness and acceptance. We will gather on Tuesday mornings between September 13 and November 15, from 10-11:30 a.m. The meeting location is the conference room in the Resource Building (but is subject to change). https://bit.ly/3oCmc56
