Fireside chats are open to anyone in their 20s or 30s. We gather around a fire to connect with each other and chat about a specific topic. Bring your questions & ideas!

This month we’ll be discussing how to live an unhurried life. How can we balance work, relationships, serving our church and communities, etc. and still devote time to prayer, scripture, and adequate rest? Conversation will be facilitated by Luke LeDuc, senior pastor at Wheatland Presbyterian Church and Kristen Vieldhouse, director of the Good Neighbor Project.
