All are warmly invited to the 2nd in our new series, Spiritual Perspectives on Hot Topics, an opportunity for people of various backgrounds and faiths to come together and discuss complex and/or challenging issues from a faith perspective. “How Will You Measure Your Life?” will take place:
Sunday, Feb. 23rd, 2:00 – 4:00 pm
2990 Quadra St., Victoria
Most of us would say that the most important things in life are our families and relationships. We’d probably also admit that getting it right is more difficult than ever these days. Yet it’s essential to our health and happiness. Clayton Christenson, a professor at Harvard University, regularly spoke to his business students on the importance of relationships, sometimes moving them to tears. Our speaker Richard Rush will share that profoundly helpful philosophy of life with us, followed by discussion in small groups.
The event is free, sponsored by VMS and hosted in the spacious Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on Quadra St, with thanks in advance for their kind hospitality. Light refreshments will be provided.
The parking lot can be accessed from both Quadra St. and the Spruce Ave. side street.
