Awakening the Spirit Meets Mondays from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

We will be on a short break and reconvene at noon on Monday, July 21 to discuss Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers by Anne Lamott. “Combining her personal insight with an exploration of spirituality, Lamott addresses what it means to pray, and the life-opening power of prayer, independent of your faith or lack thereof…Discover how these three essential prayers – Help, Thanks, and Wow — help us endure difficult times and continue to move ahead.”
