In his book, “How to Know a Person,” David Brooks explores how understanding the story of our lives can reveal our true selves. At our Men's Evening of Reflection, we will delve deeply into the personal narratives that shape who we are and examine the profound ways our spirituality influences our daily lives. Join us for an enriching evening of introspection and growth, as we explore what truly brings meaning and hope to our journey.
This program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance.
Our evening will begin with a beer tasting at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and our presentation.
Offering: $50, includes beer tasting and dinner
