Mercy in the City: Doing God’s Work at Ungodly Hours
Women’s Evening Retreat
wednesday, March 3, 2021
7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ET)
Kerry Weber
We are called to lives that incorporate prayer and service, and sometimes that means early mornings, late nights, or long hours. America’s executive editor Kerry Weber discusses her efforts to participate fully in home life, community life and the life of the Church while still maintaining her sanity. Drawing upon her book Mercy in the City and her family life, she will offer her thoughts on how she has tried to balance breadlines and deadlines and describe how her efforts for service have changed since moving from “city that never sleeps” to living in the Jersey suburbs with two kids who never sleep.
