Together in Christ January 3, 10, 17 at 9:00-10:00 am by Zoom (continued from December 20).

The Covid-19 experience has taught us all that humans are social animals, craving some form of contact with all other life, not just other humans. But it may have also taught us some deeper things about forms of contact and our social nature.

The remaining “Together in Christ” classes, led by George Bollenbacher, will explore:

• Forms of Socialization

• How We See Ourselves, the World and Others

• Christ’s Perspective
