Join us for a special Adult Forum featuring Erin Weber-Johnson, one of the authors of Pathways to Belonging. In a culture marked by increasing isolation, Erin invites us to rediscover why belonging matters – and how churches can cultivate deeper connection, inclusion, and purpose.
This lecture-style forum, followed with open Q&A, will explore:
-
The “why” of belonging and its spiritual and communal impact
-
A shift away from the language of ownership toward a more life-giving understanding of personal and communal identity
-
How we recognize belonging when we experience it
This gathering is for everyone – no sign-up needed, and you do not need to have read the book to meaningfully engage in the conversation. Come with curiosity and an open heart as we imagine together what authentic belonging can look like in our parish.
