Book Study - Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr

Sunday March 5 - July 7


In "Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life," Richard Rohr presents a compelling exploration of spiritual growth through the different stages of life. Rohr proposes that there are two phases to life: the first, where we are largely preoccupied with establishing our identity, and the second, where we seek deeper meanings and connections with the spiritual world.

 

We will discuss Rohr's concepts of letting go of youthful black-and-white thinking to embrace the grays of more mature spirituality. We'll explore themes such as the importance of introspection, the acceptance of imperfection, and the reconciliation with one's past.


Each week's discussion will be valuable even if you are not able to attend each Sunday. Hope you can join us.

 

College Students

Our ministry with college students of our church focuses on a few things.
