Our August worship theme will be The Gospel of Loneliness, based on this book by Dwight Lee Wolter.
We will not host an official book-study for this theme, but you’re welcome to check the book out if you are interested.
If you have a story about loneliness that you would like to work on as a story-teller for worship, please let Pastor Kayla know.

Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rhor
In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of “up” until we have fallen “down.” More importantly, Rohr describes what “up” can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found “when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity” through a shift from our “outer task” to the “inner task.” What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward?and is not necessarily connected with aging.
