DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly study led by the Pastor. \nFor the fall
 \, we are reading and discussing Richard Rohr's Falling Upward\, Revised 
 and Updated.\nIf you would like us to purchase a copy for you\, please let
  Rev. Yost or the church office know. Here’s the book's description from
  the publisher.\nIn the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward\, Ri
 chard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life
 . In this book\, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of
  “up” until we have fallen “down.” More importantly\, Rohr describ
 es what “up” can look like in the second half of life.\nMost of us ten
 d to think of the second half of life in chronological terms\, but this bo
 ok proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found “when we b
 egin to pay attention and seek integrity” through a shift from our “ou
 ter task” to the “inner task.” What looks like falling down can be e
 xperienced as falling upward--and is not necessarily connected with aging.
  This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a
  life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling U
 pward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transfor
 mation.\n\n\nGain a spiritual perspective on the “the common sequencing\
 , staging\, and direction of life’s arc” and learn how to bring forth 
 your gifts in the second half of life\n\n\nGrapple with difficult feelings
 \, fears\, and emotions associated with “great love and great suffering
 ”\n\n\nLearn how we “grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than
  by doing it right.” Understand why so many of us resist falling into th
 e second half of life\n\n\nReaders of Rohr’s previous works and those ne
 w to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort 
 and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.\n\n\nIf you wa
 nt to join us remotely\, you may do so via Google Meet.\nVideo call link:
