Contemplative Citizenship
September 28, 2025 - November 2, 2025
Free
How do we live faithfully in a time of division, noise, and distraction? How might ancient Christian practices ground us for the challenges of public life today? Join us for a six-week series at St. Andrew’s in Maryville as we explore the connection between contemplation and citizenship—practices that root us deeply in God’s presence and send us out as witnesses of Christ’s peace, justice, and love.
We will meet Sundays at 9:15 a.m. in the Parish Hall.
