Where Are We Wearing: How Our Clothes Impact the World
97% of our clothes are made overseas. You can read the tag and know where your shirt was made, but what it doesn’t tell you about are the personal lives, hopes, and dreams of the individuals that made that item. We acquire much on the backs of those who have so little, and we often unknowingly contribute to the ongoing poverty that exists in Third World countries. Join KelseyTimmerman on his journey to meet the people who made his clothes and discuss how we as Christians should respond.
Leader: Lisa Woods
Dates: Mondays, August 6 - 27, 7 p.m.
Location: Cherrywood Coffeehouse 1400 East 38 1/2 St.

Finding Meaning in the Two Halves of Life
We’ll explore Fr. Richard Rohr’s contemporary thoughts on Carl Jung’s “two halves of life” as written in his book “Falling Upward"
Fr. Rohr explains that “in first half [of life] you’ve got to find your identity, your significance; you create your ego boundaries. In the second half of life, once you’ve created your ego structure, you finally have the courage to ask: What is this all for? What am I supposed to do with this? The search for meaning is the task of the second half of life." Together we’ll journey towards a deeper appreciation for the joys and struggles of seeking a more meaningful life in Christ.
Leaders: Gustavo Hernandez and George Brown
Dates: Wednesdays, June 27, July 11 – August 1, 6:30 p.m.
Location: St. David’s

Freedom from Bondage: A Practical and Spiritual Personal Finance Workshop Series
Whether you’re drowning in debt or simply spend more time worrying about your finances than you’d like, you’re not alone in being “in bondage” to money. Join parishioner and financial advisor Britton Gregory for a hands-on, four-part workshop series where we’ll talk about practical, spiritual, and sustainable steps to break free of that bondage, from establishing a budget that actually matches your spending, to establishing a “cushion” to shield you from life’s arrows, to digging out of debt and beyond!

BBQ and Books: The Vertical Self
Join the Spirited Book Group for dinner and discussion around the book, The Vertical Self. The path that God has chosen for us to discover who we really are is the path of holiness. The most exciting thing is that this path is not for otherworldy saints, rather it is a path of earthy, gutsy holiness. Come eat, drink and discuss how our daily lives can be the very path to the Christlikeness we seek.
Leader: Peter Techmanski
Dates: Saturdays, June 9 - 30, July 7 & 14, 4 - 6 p.m.
