A Roadmap to Hope
Rev. Dr, Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • December 31, 2023
Moving Forward with Intentional Hope
When heading out on a journey, we use many different resources to help map our route. For some this is GPS; others like a good old-fashioned map, a compass can help, and some people might even follow the sun. No matter what resource you use for guidance, you need to know where you want to go. Hope is one of the words that we think we know, but when it comes down to it we all may define it differently. On Sunday, we will define hope –- what it is and what it's not. We will give you an opportunity to consider how you define and measure hope in your own life.

Conclave offers a glimpse into the process of selecting a new pope, coinciding with Pope Francis’s passing, while Penguin Lessons delves into Argentina’s turbulent 1970s, raising questions about justice and moral responsibility. Explore their significance in today's changing world.
