Sunday Forum

Sundays, 10:15-11:05 a.m.
in the Parish Hall and on YouTube

For all adults of the parish, we host speakers and discussions on a range of topics and subjects that will enhance our spiritual life and sense of purpose and community. A link to each week’s forum can be found in our weekly e-newsletter, and past forums are archived on our YouTube channel.
