For the past three summers as a community we have been working on getting better at an emotion.  We have looked at fear, anger, and disgust. This summer we will focus on the emotion love.  

We are blessed to have a member of our church, Dr. Vibh Forsythe Cox, who is a licensed Psychologist as well as a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification certified clinician.  DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy) is especially helpful for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions.

We do this work to deepen our ability to connect with one another and strengthen our ability to welcome all different kinds of people into our community.

Vibh will lead adult formation at 12:30pm on August 10th and 24th.  A light lunch will be provided with a 5 dollar suggested donation. Our summer read will be The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride.  We will use this book to wonder about how the emotion love is revealed and understood in the story, and how it connects to our own lives. We will discuss it on August 17th at 10am.
