We’ve been hoping to have Jerry Herbert come again and help us understand more deeply the cultural currents swirling around us.
Stepping away from Valentine’s Day for February, we’re excited to commemorate Black History Month. Patriece Johnson and Connally Gilliam, long-standing friends have a great deal to say about their friendship.
Michael Wear, friend, family guy, founder and CEO of Center for Christianity & Public Life will help us understand what it means to contend for the credibility of Christian resources in public life, for the public good. That’s big.
Canceled! We’re sorry to miss our brunch with Joel Woodruff, but he’s agreed to come in May.

We keep finding ourselves wondering (obsessing?) about “what’s next?” when it comes to our work. The lack of answers leaves us discouraged and often times disengaged in our roles…
Dr. Robin Knauth, Assistant Professor of Religion and Archaeology at Lycoming College, will be joining us to talk about how her study of cultures, events, literature and the languages of the ancient Near East have informed her faith and understanding of the Bible stories we’ve heard again and again.
When Grace Jan and Danny Lee headed to opposite coasts for college, they never imagined the future that God had in store for them. One of reuniting old friends and putting them in a new community where they, their faith, and soon - their family - could thrive.
You probably know or have seen Grace and Danny around: at brunch in the before-times, at Restoration (often in yellow t-shirts shepherding the littles). But now is your chance to hear their story:
How their faith has sustained them and how relationships have shaped them.
The commitments - to each other and their community - that have helped them grow as a family and as children of God.
People! Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without… Steve and Louise Brooks bring their stories and lessons learned about living closely with people of all sorts.

Unlocking Harry Potter’s World for Our World
So many people grew up with Harry Potter, the series of magic and courage, good and evil, but it’s not necessary to have a deep familiarity with the stories to get a great deal from hearing how the good news of God shows up in these books.

Emily is from Pennsylvania and spent six years in corporate America working as a mechanical engineer, five years with Rolls-Royce. Her strong work ethic and drive to succeed quickly identified her as a high potential employee. However, without an understanding of boundaries and a healthy work-life balance, these qualities led to burnout while she was on a one-year international assignment in Bristol, England. She resigned from the engineering job. Soon afterward, she was introduced to The Navigators and met Al Miyashita, the Mission Director of NavWorkplace, based in NYC. She became excited about workplace ministry because of her own experiences and hopes that the lessons she’s learned can help others avoid the same. Her energy is now focused on helping Christians flourish both professionally and spiritually in their workplaces.
Today Emily lives in Manhattan and attends Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
Dr. Jerry Herbert will join us again for another rich discussion of Citizenship as Discipleship: the Politics of Embrace. The hope is that it will prepare us to go home for the Christmas holidays, unafraid to reflect on the political situation (whatever we might think of it) with family and friends who might not eat, drink and breathe this stuff as much as we do.
Come enjoy the bacon, coffee, brunch foods and new people, as Doug Weber, part of the local leadership team for The Navigators on Capitol Hill, discusses Life Stages in God's Plan.
