Covenant: The Art of Commitment

About this event

Loneliness is deadly. We know this psychologically and spiritually. Sin wants us to be alone, and it often feels like today's world is tailor-made to keep us this way.

We will be reading Made for People by Justin Whitmel Earley. Over several weeks, we’ll explore why God made us to experience deep friendship and how we can cultivate them despite a culture of busyness, disconnection, and fear of vulnerability.

Our gatherings are relaxed and conversational. Each week we'll introduce a topic and then spend most of our time talking through questions together.

• 7:00 PM: Arrive, order food/drinks + catch up

• 7:15 PM: Book discussion

• 8:25 PM: Wrap-up + announcements

• 8:30 PM: Official end

Each session stands on its own, so come once or come often--even if you haven't finished all the reading.
