Join us July 12 at 7pm for “The Service Roundtable,” a new monthly dialogue on service to our neighbors and our city, hosted by the Grace DC Diaconate. This will be an opportunity for open and honest discussion about why we are called to service and yet so often try to avoid it, the challenges and the blessing of service, practical tips for loving our neighbors, and more. We’ll also hear from experts in different fields of mercy ministry. Pizza will be served! RSVP to Tom Carpenter for more info and with questions.
