Coffee & Conversation

Saturday, September 6th, 2025

9:30-10:30 AM (EST)

We are excited about the online Associate Community that has been forming through the OPAL discussions during this past year.  We appreciate your notes of gratitude and we look forward to getting to know each other even more as we take on the challenges of transformation.

We are inviting our OPAL members to do just that with our "Coffee & Conversation" virtual gathering on Saturday morning, September 6th, from 9:30 to 10:30AM (EST).  This will be a time of prayer and sharing, where we just "check in" with each other, sharing mission moments, exciting news and support -  the Good News of the Gospel.  There will not be any presentations, just an opportunity to grow in relationship with each other.
