SPA 'reinvented'...As we reconvene this fall 2020 amidst the pandemic, we are offering a mixture of both in-person gatherings as well as virtual for our three groups. During Covid 19, we are suspending our fellowship gatherings from 6:30 - 7:00. Doors open at 6:45 for participants to gather in their respective area.
Here are the details:
*Discussion group (video conference) continue their lively conversations. Each week they meet to examine the work of modern Christian theologians, and discuss how their ideas enlighten our own personal experience, in the ongoing endeavor for each of us to actively participate in our own spiritual evolution. Examining the context of biblical teachings sheds new light on the divine experience which we share with Jesus. We are currently discussing "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time" by Marcus Borg.
