About Event

Please join us as we discuss our book selection for June entitled How We Learn to Be Brave by Bishop Marion Budde. Bishop Budde delivered the homily at the January 2025 interfaith prayer service following Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration. Her sermon called for compassion and mercy toward marginalized groups. 

This book is described as an inspirational guide to the key junctures in life that, if navigated with faith and discernment, pave the way for us to become our most courageous selves. The decisive moments in life are those pivot points when we’re called on to push past our fears and act with strength. With How We Learn to Be Brave, Bishop Mariann Budde teaches us to respond with clarity and grace even in the toughest times. Being brave is not a singular occurrence; it’s a journey that we can choose to undertake every day.

We will break the book into two sessions on June 10 and June 24. 

Please join us in person in the Heritage Room for Potluck at 6 pm followed by book discussion at 7 Pm. Or join us on Zoom at 6:45 pm.
