"The Stretch" is a space with opportunities to learn, grapple, and discover how we show up as love in the world through justice-related topics. You can expect articles, book suggestions, informed discussion spaces, and a plethora of ways to experience what it means to be Christ in the world. New participants are invited to join in at any time, with or without having read the current book. All are welcome in the circle! Contact Cindy Saufferer with any questions and/or if you would like assistance in ordering a book.
For October, we will gather to talk about our next read, Killers of the Flower Moon, by David Grann. Also look forward to joining the group for a movie night, dinner and discussion.
