We’re back to where we started! Join us Monday, February 13 at Copper Cup (Ironwood Café) at 680 Dover Center in Westlake, for the presentation It’s about time! Ever wonder why time seems to fly when you’re doing something you love, and time seems like an eternity when you’re doing something you abhor? Biblical time management doesn’t provide more time, but it helps us make the best use of the time we’ve been given. It looks not at chronological time, but at Kairos time, God’s time. At the beginning of this New Year, Fr. Dan Schlegel will guide us in examining ways to enhance opportunities to live life more meaningfully, purposefully with joy and hope. Cost is $15.00 per person which includes light appetizers & refreshments. Cash Bar is also available. Pay online or at the door. Be sure to RSVP either way. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Program begins at 7:00 p.m. Register in advance at: www.theologyontherocks.wixsite.com/west.
