9:30 AM, Merritt Room • Adult Formation | Exploring The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr | On Sundays in Advent, Join Rev. April and Fr. Christopher beginning promptly at 9:30 AM. One of the most influential Christian spiritual teachers of our time, Rohr illuminates the lives and witness of the biblical prophets, revealing how their deep humanity, compassion, and encounters with suffering give rise to profound lament over the human condition and the brokenness of our world. Through their tears, we discover a timely message of hope, healing, and possibility.
