Greetings!

 

As you may know, I am in the process of obtaining my doctorate in Theology. For my current studies, I am in need of 6 volunteers to join me for a mini-course on Henri Nouwen's book, The Return of the Prodigal Son. This 4-part series will be facilitated by me at our Main office in Rocky River. Details of the course are outlined below. 

Your participation and reflection will be used to complete a class paper that I am writing to meet a July deadline. If you are interested, please send a reply to admin@grolistic.com and we will reserve your seat in the session. Please only respond if you can commit to completing the 4-part series.

Participants will be chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis. I appreciate your continued support of my spiritual journey, and am looking forward to your input and revelations.
 
Sincerely,
