Ready to explore the pros and the cons of opening ourselves to others? Do you wonder how we face an unknown future with both hope and anxiety? And what can we control and what requires stepping out with openness and faith? Join us as our own Rev. Karyn Packard returns and invites us to dare to be human creatures, vulnerable to the beauty of existence. Her goal? enhanced relationships both individually and in community.
