In it Together: Discovering the Art of Blessing One Another in Friendship and Community
Join us for a conversation on how to strengthen and deepen our friendships and relationships. In the fragment, frenzied world we share, a meaningful connection can be rare and the gift of presence feels elusive. Discover how to strengthen our connections with God and one another as we discuss what it truly means to be blessed and practice the art of blessing one another.

She speaks at events across the country but makes her home in Elmhurst, IL. We hope that you and a friend can come out for a delightful evening of appetizers, great company, and conversation.
