Summer Faith Sharing
Our Sunday faith sharing is back for the summer. We join together to pray, reflect on the Sunday readings, and discuss our faith. It is a low-key gathering and there’s no need to read in advance or join every week.
We meet each Sunday at 5 PM on the parish Zoom channel starting on July 9. All are welcome, especially first-time participants.
Thursday Book Group: Mere Christianity
The next selection of the Brownstone Brooklyn & Beyond book group will be Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. The book is adapted from a series of radio talks that C.S. Lewis gave during World War 2.

The first discussion session will be on Thursday, July 13 at 7 PM via Zoom. At that session, we will discuss the beginning through Book 1. The Brownstone Brooklyn and Beyond book group meets weekly on Thursdays at 7 PM via Zoom. It is comprised of parishioners from various churches in the Brooklyn Heights/Park Slope area.

The next meeting of the book club will be this Sunday at 12:30 PM. We will meet in person at the rectory and on Zoom. Everyone is welcome.
