Virtual Lenten Adult Forum
Join us as we read and discuss How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith, by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. Bishop Budde garnered national attention for her January 21, 2025 sermon calling for mercy towards the vulnerable. From Bookshop.org: With Bishop Budde’s wisdom, readers will learn to live and to respond according to their true beliefs and in ways that align with their best selves. How We Learn to Be Brave will provide much-needed fortitude and insight to anyone searching for answers in uncertain times.
​
Discussions will take place on the church zoom at 7pm.
