(2) "Summer connected with our experience and stimulated vibrant discussion and spiritual growth for everyone regardless of their season of life."
(3) "The Action questions help us think about our relationship to others. Like so many groups, we care and provide much support for our own. But if we are given for the life of the world, like Jesus was, then we really need a more outward focus."
(4) "Lots of good sharing around Sabbath moments, and that helps us remember what is healing and refreshing to us, and to seek God in those places."
(5) "People in their ‘summer season’ expressed great appreciation for the intergenerational aspect."
