SUMMARY:Let's Talk About It: On-line Zoom Conversation Group
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for conversation about the October issue of Christian Courier! We expect to open by considering how Reformed Christians navigate divides; the October issue has articles about separatism in Alberta\, struggles over coal plants\, and ICE in the U.S. It is a challenge to hear one another with love! CC is also celebrating its 80th anniversary\, so we hope to hear stories about how CC has influenced and encouraged folks. What are the hopeful signs in the midst of fights and fractures in our churches and society? \nFor Christian Courier online\, go to: https://www.christiancourier.ca \nIt’s great to read Christian Courier online\, but we also recommend it as a physical paper you can hold in your hands. Consider subscribing to Christian Courier today! If your church is interested in having paper copies\, please reach out here.  \n  \nFor more info & a Zoom link\, contact: nvlettinga@yahoo.ca \nFacilitators: Neil & Virginia Lettinga
