GROWING IN SPIRIT – 2011-2012
"Growing in Spirit" is our worship and learning program year focus for 2011-12. This year we will reflect, consider and act upon religious themes that connect us in community and help us live lives of joy, hope, and service. Each month a particular theme related to our overall focus guides us as we worship, learn and grow together as religious people.
The church’s offerings each month are by no means limited to the themes. However, these topics provide an axis around which many elements of congregational life gain more meaning and depth. They provide us with a set of common stories and ideas that become elements of an ongoing community conversation.
In
faith,
Abhi Janamanchi
