Yearnings: Book Study & Conversation
Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life

January 11-February 22 (Wednesdays)
@ 7-8pm on zoom

"Life can be messy and imperfect. We’re all looking for answers. And yet, as renowned rabbi Irwin Kula points out, the yearning for answers is no different now than it was in the times that gave rise to Moses, Buddha, and Jesus. Far from being a burden, however, these yearnings can themselves become a path to blessing, prompting questions and insights, resulting in new ways of being and believing."

We are excited to offer a weekly conversation/study on the book Yearnings by Irwin Kula. Our conversations will take place on zoom for 7 Wednesdays starting in the new year! Pastor Emma and Susan will guide a weekly 1 hour conversation about the book that you can follow along week by week or drop in on a chapter/topic that interests you!
