What does it look like when a whole city prays together? For nearly thirty years, the Greater Hartford Multi-Faith Prayer Breakfast has answered that question, reaching across religious boundaries to celebrate shared beliefs and to acknowledge that our diverse communities need one another. This year's theme: 'Building Community Across Traditions.' Come for the music, the greetings from city and state leaders, and a wonderful Middle Eastern-style breakfast, and leave knowing you've stood with neighbors of many faiths. We hope to see you there: https://www.hartfordinternational.edu/news-events/events/29th-annual-greater-hartford-multifaith-prayer-breakfast

“We all encounter challenges in life or take ‘detours’ that we never expected,” Rich says. “I hope the book can provide readers hope in knowing that what they are encountering (either with mental health or illnesses) is not unique to them — and that having a positive attitude really does make a difference. When ‘detours’ are encountered, they actually might ‘be the way’ that the person can in fact achieve happiness or find their true life purpose." Attend his event!

Soul Conversations:
A Pilgrimage of the Heart
by Rev. Susan Izard

BOOK LAUNCH

free event — use link to regiser

A special JPWL Lunch and Learn takes place on October 18 -- we're holding a book launch for Rev. Susan Izard's latest work, Soul Conversations, her lifelong journey to recognize, trust, and befriend her soul.

Susan, a retired ordained minister of the UCC, shares her lifelong journey of learning to recognize, trust, and befriend her soul. Blending memoir, spiritual reflection, and gentle guidance, she explores how soul conversations can help us reconnect with ourselves, with Holy Presence, and with a more purposeful, peaceful way of living.

Soul Conversations is both a spiritual memoir and a gentle companion for anyone longing to live with more presence, trust, and connection to the sacred within.

Free program. A light lunch will be served. We have reach capacity for in-person attendance, but please register for a Zoom presentation.
