What does it mean to be a Christian Monday through Friday? Do we have to hand out pamphlets on Jesus to our co-workers? Not exactly! Together we will gather for a 5 week discussion, accompanied by a little book, about how to bring our faith into our daily lives in a way that feel authentic. All are welcome!
