About Cherished Belonging
Lent is a season of reflection, transformation, and renewal—a time to draw closer to God and one another. In Cherished Belonging, Gregory Boyle challenges us to reimagine what it means to truly belong—not through exclusion or division, but through radical love, compassion, and connection.
This series invites us to explore these themes together, not just in theory, but in real, lived community.
-
How can we become people who cherish rather than divide?
-
What does it mean to see the world through a lens of love?
-
How do we cultivate deep belonging in our own lives, families, and communities?
Where to pick up your copy: Cherished Belonging is available through your favorite bookseller, or contact Miriam at the church office.
