"God Lives in Me", Rev. Janet Tobin, Wednesday, January 18, 2017, 7 pm


January’s theme is Spiritual Living. That’s what we are all doing, isn’t it? Finding our way, living life and loving it! As we move into 2017, there is a lot happening in our country and in our world. Exploring our spiritual values is good preparation for whatever we face as individuals and as a community.

This Wednesday, January 18, Rev Janet Tobin is speaking at the evening service; her topic is “God Lives in Me.” Come to the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa at 7 pm, and plan on staying a bit after the service for light snacks and conversations with others in our community.

See you on Wednesday!
