    Adult Faith Journey: Embracing a Life of Meaning

    Kathleen Norris on Discovering What Matters - Led by Rev. Tami Seidel
    Best-selling author Kathleen Norris gives us a way of exploring what matters most if
    we are truly seeking a meaningful life:

    • faith matters – to what do we give our hearts?
    • the Bible matters –it is our collective story;
    • community matters;
    • place matters; and
    • we matter – what does it mean to be in God’s image?
