June 26 | Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi by Richard Rohr
When we allow the truth that God’ s love for us is unconditional to permeate our lives, we desire to share God’ s love. As the desire to share God’ s love grows in our hearts, we are led towards service for and charity towards each other.
July 31 | A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
This is a great book for adults, teens, and older children. All are welcome to discuss this book.
This fantastical, time-traveling adventure throws our main characters into conflicts of love, divinity, and goodness as they wrestle with spirituality and purpose. As they encounter good and evil, our protagonists must embrace love and courage to overcome darkness and save their father.

August 28 | The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality for Unsettled
Seasons by Casey Tygrett
Could moments of tension and restlessness actually be sacred?
Casey Tygrett argues that they ’ re not only sacred but places of divine encounter. Transformation happens not by escaping our restlessness but by remaining in it with awareness, spiritual practices, and a willingness to be formed by God.

JOURNEY TO MOUNT LECONTE
AUGUST 6 - 7
Hike the 5.5-mile Alum Cave Trail up to the historic 101-year-old LeConte Lodge! ! On this journey, we will be served delicious meals, enjoy fellowship together, and consider how God speaks to our faith through the beauty of God’ s creation. The next morning, we will hike back down the mountain and return home. $320 per person includes transportation, shared bedroom and two meals. $100 nonrefundable deposit is due. This trip is limited to six individuals (unless you are open to sharing a double bed with a family member/friend), and more specific details about the trip will be made available to those who sign up and pay in full. All ages are welcome, but this is a trip that requires a strong level of physical fitness. If this date fills, a wait list will be kept as there is potential for adding an additional date in July!
