Theology on Tap-Wednesday, October 21

How do we know what God desires for our lives? What practices can help us get clearer about our own desire to live lives of meaning and purpose? The practice of “discernment”, listening for the voice and presence of God in our daily lives, has a long history in our Christian tradition. Join us on Wednesday, October 21 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for a conversation about how we can practice discernment amid the busyness of our lives today. Dr. Kathy Staudt works as a teacher, poet, and spiritual director at a number of institutions in the Washington, DC area, including Virginia Theological Seminary and Wesley Theological Seminary. Her classes focus on writing, spirituality, and explorations of vocation. All are welcome! For more information about Theology on Tap please contact the Rev. Andy Olivo at andrew.olivo@stjohns-dc.org.
