Peacemaking Bookclub
In a world marked by conflict, injustice, and polarization, how can we live into our call to be peacemakers? How do we love those we disagree with (especially those we're closest to)? How is peacemaking connected to the work of justice?

Join us for a book club to discuss their book and explore how Holy Spirit is inviting us to be formed as peacemakers.
