Social Justice Book Study - Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart
Facilitator: Kelly Lemens Suggested Donation: $35 Monday’s; October 7 – December 16 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm |
Last spring, APTB hosted a discussion group of Brian McLaren’s video presentation: Courage and Resilience, where Brian names the unease and anxiety shared by many in these uncertain times. Faced with the instability of our religious and political institutions and their failure to address crisis of our times - ecological overshoot and economic injustice to name a few – in Life After Doom, Brian leads us into new ways of exploring hope so that we may not only survive but thrive during these turbulent times. Join us for an unsettling and compelling conversation and find your own courage and resilience to face the times ahead. Register here.

A prophet in the Old Testament were those called by God to speak for God to the Israelites during chaotic and often violent times. Often warning them of the consequences that followed their separation from God, the overall message of the prophets called the Israelites back to God, reminding them of God's love and teaching them to follow God's way. Join us as we explore five themes that resonate throughout the Old Testament prophets.

Grief can be complicated and challenging and impacts everyone regardless of age, health, or background. Many folks are not comfortable talking about grief, which can result in a very lonely journey for those experiencing loss. The Journey from Grief to Healing is a workshop to offer support and encouragement for those who have experienced loss. Being with others experiencing grief enables us to share our stories and feelings in a safe, compassionate space. With the help of a trained facilitator, we will be guided through interactive sessions, given education materials to increase one’s knowledge of the grieving process and provided with tools and resources for support along the way.
