"SITUATIONS OF SUBSTANCE" 

   An Evening Series in 2009

As in last year’s successful series, we will present four concerns of our times. The series will focus on “situations” -- complex conditions we feel caught in. Situations are not as simple as right or wrong. They require thoughtful discernment and multi-dimensional solutions as responsible citizens and people of faith. We invite you to learn more and engage with others about these concerns with the input and guidance of our presenters.

“Situations of Substance” is compact, stretching, and interactive. Come to any or all of the sessions. Advanced registration of one week is appreciated and may be important in case we need to contact you in the case of prohibitive weather.
  

Time:   6:30-8:30 p.m. at Retreat Department entrance
Cost:   TBA    ($12.50 in 2008)
