2025 Summer Patio Series
How We Learn to be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by
|
Join the St. Michael's women for the Summer Patio Series, a time for small group connection and conversation! For five sessions this summer, small groups will gather to discuss How We Become Brave by Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal Bishop of Washington
Bishop Budde became a household name after her homily from the 2025 Inaugural Prayer Service at the National Cathedral went viral. Her 2023 book gives insight into how we push past our fears and act with strength and clarity through difficulty. "Bishop Mariann Budde weaves themes of life, scripture, and service into a journey of bravery that you do not want to miss." - Edward W. Beal, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry, Georgetown University School of Medicine. Small groups will meet 5 times over the course of the summer on either Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday evenings. The small group sign up and discussion guides for each meeting will be listed below. A kick-off party will be held on June 8th at 6:00 p.m. at Sue Thompson's home in Shoreview (bring your swimsuit if you want to take a dip in the pool!) Please contact the church office for Sue's address. |
How to join a small group:
- Use the sign up links below or wait to join a group at the kick off party. Small group sizes are intentionally sized so that meaningful conversation is possible.
- Commit to your small group throughout the summer. Book reading is only part of the goal for this patio series - relationship building is the core of small groups, so prioritizing your group's meeting throughout the summer is essential!
