We are thrilled to be continuing our pursuit of spiritual practices at Saint Catherine’s. And you are invited to go deeper with us. This season we will be on a grand adventure of discovery, as we uncover another perspective of Jesus as THE WISDOM JESUS. 

This year we will be working with Cynthia Bourgeault’s book: The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind - A New Perspective on Christ and his Message.  There are copies available at the church ($25 each), or you can get a kindle or audio version available from Amazon. 

Structure of the evening:

• Teaching and Discussion time (7 - 7:45 pm),
• and a Spiritual Practice time (7:45 - 8:15 pm).

We look forward to a rich and transformative time together in the presence of Spirit, for our own growth, AND to bring love, hope and compassion to the world around us.
