Turbulent times have been with humankind for eons. Many Christians across the centuries have weathered such times and grew in their faith. How did they do that? In following Jesus, what sustained their faith and allowed them to live with dignity and love?

If this interests you, join this monthly gathering on the second Monday of each month beginning Monday, August 11, 2025, 6:30pm to 8pm at Good Shepherd in room 114.

We will:

• Gather in Christian community to share and reflect

• Explore prayer and contemplative practices to deepen our faith

• Learn tools for creating Christian community

The next Christian Resilience Monthy Gathering is Monday, September 8. This month’s gathering theme is “Despair and Hope: The Dance of Resilience.” If you’ve ever felt despair and a sense of hopelessness and wondered about how to find hope, this gathering may offer some answers. As we join in Christian fellowship, share, and explore contemplative practices, we deepen our faith. This gathering will feature Taize chanting, reading a psalm of lament and learning about Harriet Tubman’s journey from despair to hope and action.

Facilitated by Lynn Forrey, Gery Gerst, Marianne Dlugo and Lorna Sheveland. There will be handouts, so it is helpful to let us know if you can attend. If you haven’t already, let us know at lsheve@comcast.net or for more information.
