In this third session of our four-part series, we will celebrate, empower, and foster community among Young Adults (ages 21-39) in the Church. For each installment of the program, we will share a meal and hear an engaging presentation on the relationship between faith and justice. All of which will be paired with a variety of beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic (including local craft beer) in our beautiful new outdoor pavilion. Walk-in registrations are welcome with payment by cash, check, or Venmo, but please register in advance (for our planning purposes) if you are able. The $15 registration fee includes dinner and 2 beverages from the bar. Register in advance for all four sessions for $50.
