Thursday’s at Ten will once again be meeting on Zoom. Over many years this group has read, viewed, studied, and met with a number of inspiring authors and speakers on a variety of topics. As we explore areas of spirituality and religion as well as current topics such as relating to others, being your authentic self, and being in this world in a kind and understanding way, we hope to inspire each participant through open discussion and dialogue.
Facilitated by Connie Johnston and Rev. Seth Stearns.
