Hunger and Gladness

What am I called to do in life? Whom am I called to journey with?

These are questions both ancient and timeless, communal and individual, engaging both the mind and the heart. 听

Frederick Buechner wrote that 渢he place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world deep hunger meet.� In seeking this place where our innate gifts and talents align with the essential needs of others, we discover vocation, friendship, and fulfillment � topics always worthy of consideration, but especially so in our tumultuous age.

Join us this year as we seek the intersection of the world deep hunger and our deep gladness. Together in community and alongside our welcomed speakers, we will invite wonder, practice grace, and expect serendipity.听

We hope you檒l be part of the journey.
