AUGUST 2019
- Wednesdays, August 7 & 21, 12:00 - 1:45 p.m. or 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. - August Book Group: Mystical Hope by Cynthia Bourgeault, Sophia Center office, 2nd floor, First Congregational Church, 30 Main St., Binghamton, NY.
What might it be like to stay grounded and centered even as chaos storms around us? In this little book, Cynthia Bourgeault invites us to sink into that possibility. “Must we be whiplashed incessantly between joy and sorrow, expectation and disappointment? Is it not possible to live from a place of greater equilibrium, to find a deeper and steadier current? The good news is that this deeper current does exist and you actually can find it.” Come join with others seeking that deeper and steadier current. Come and be inspired, and come and share practical ways to stay energized and hopeful in a world that can sometimes seem hopeless.
