I Shall Not Want: Being Content in an Age of Consumption
Sunday, May 11 at 10:15am in Oehler Hall
Scripture repeatedly assures us of the abundance in God's Creation and love. Nevertheless, we live in a time and culture that denies this reality and tells us that we constantly need more in order to be happy and satisfied. Not only does this take a spiritual and mental toll on us, but it creates discord and strife between us and our human and more-than-human neighbors. Join us for a conversation about finding contentedness through faith.
