Addiction and Grace

If you haven’t read Gerald May’s classic on addiction and attachment, this Lent is a good time to take the plunge. May, in a simple yet comprehensive way, helps us to understand the underpinnings of attachment and the infinite power of Grace that can “do infinitely more than we can ask or even imagine.” Lent is a time to become free by the power of God. We will meet twice, once to receive the book and gain an overview of its contents, and then a month later, having read the book. This one Lenten activity could change your life forever. Some Lents do that!
Date: 2 Thursdays: February 18 and March 18
Time: 1:00 – 3:00 PM
