WOMEN’S MINISTRY Join a Book Discussion on April 27 - The Broken Way "There's a way that beckons you into more time, more meanings, more authentic relationships.

There's a way of honest, transformative power. Dare to take the broken way - to abundance." Susan Wimmer will be leading our discussion of Ann Voskamp's new book, The Broken Way on April 27th at 7:00pm in Darm's Chapel.
