Speaking of Faith

During this Lenten season Pilgrims are reading Krista Tippett's book Speaking of Faith and talking about their own faith questions and experiences.  Sermons on Sunday morning are inspired by our minister's reading of the book and on Monday evenings we are using video and audio clips to hear more from individuals whom Tippett quotes.  Discussion groups and the Monday evening series are open to friends and members of the congregation.
