How do these values offer us both challenge and comfort? What might it mean to place them at the center of our living and loving? What promise do they hold for us individually as well as collectively? These are some of the questions that will guide and bless our journey in the year ahead. Here is the list of our 2023-24 themes: The Gift of… September:  Welcome October:  Heritage November:  Generosity December:  Mystery January:  Liberating Love February: Justice & Equity March:  Transformation April: Interdependence May:  Pluralism June:  Renewal We look forward to diving into these themes with you!
