Krista Tippett, host of On Being at NPR, says “I have rarely\u00a0discovered a book that so delighted and galvanized me at once.”<\/p>\n Contact Barb Edgar at edgar002@umn.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n This fall, Hamline Church is drawing on an age-old Methodist practice of relying on small groups to help us through these unprecedented times. In September everyone will be invited to participate in a Hamline Connects Group for the fall and winter. Each group will be shaped by a leader(s) and will collectively decide when and how to meet. Groups are encouraged to meet at least twice a month through Zoom, email, text, phone, or mail. Some groups may decide to meet in-person outdoors with masks and social distancing. Hamline Connects Groups are designed to create small groups within the congregation so that members and active friends of the church can stay connected, engaged, and cared for.
