Living the Questions Adult Study Group will resume Thursday, July 7 on Zoom at 10:30am. We will read chapters 13 and 14 of "The Faith Club" which weaves the story of the three women, their three religions, and their urgent quest to understand one another. The Faith Club forces readers to face the tough questions about their own religions. Pioneering, timely, deeply thoughtful, and full of hope, The Faith Club's caring message will resonate with people of all faiths."
