We all belong in the Beloved Community book study. Each first Tuesday of the month, we gather, pray, and discuss a book the hosts believe will bring us closer to the dream God has for us as God’s beloved children.
Our April, May, June book is The Night Is Long but Light Comes in the Morning: Meditations for Racial Healing by Catherine Meeks! Request a complimentary copy of the book in the format of your choice: hardcover, paperback, audible or kindle.
Reading the book is not mandatory for this book study! Whether you read a few pages or the whole book, our conversation will be better with you there. Just prepare for spoilers! We’ll talk about the book—our favorite parts, where we see ourselves, and what this book has to do with us, our faith communities, and our diocese.
We will meet on:
April 7, 2026
May 5, 2026
June 2, 2026
REGISTER HERE
There is no registration deadline, however, if requesting to be mailed a copy of the book, please register no later than March 31.
