Don’t forget you have dinner plans next Wednesday 1/27 @ 6pm on Zoom. We’re going to get together to discuss a reading schedule for Tattoos on the Heart. Food and good spirits welcome.

We’re starting a book club and first up on our list is Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Father Gregory Boyle.

Tattoos on the Heart follows Father Greg as he explores the philosophy of radical kinship and mercy while working in Los Angeles amongst the crossfire of a community in crisis. Father Greg is the founder of Homeboy Industries-- a restorative justice job opportunity center that provides formerly incarcerated folks with the career development training, kinship and support to get back on their feet.

Our first book club meeting will be on Wednesday, January 27th at 6:00 PM via Zoom and we will meet every other week on Wednesdays as we move through the book.

All are welcome and we'd love to have you join in on the conversation, even if you can only join for a few meetings or pop in!
