Hydration and Holy Conversation
2nd and 4th Mondays, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Noble Hops, 1335 W Lambert Ln, Oro Valley 85737

Did you ever think about the conversations that the disciples had as they walked beside Jesus? We know they were from different backgrounds, different places, and had different ideas of what the Kingdom of God could be like, who was in and who was out. They argued over who was the greatest, the best use of money, and justice. Jesus was there for these conversations, in the midst of them, and spoke into them. These conversations were holy. In Christ’s community we are called to have difficult conversations, to listen to each other as brothers and sisters, not to change the other, but come to understanding, learning more about ourselves, each other, and who God is. You are invited to join Pastor Erin and other special guests on the 2nd and 4th Monday nights of the month at Noble Hops for a time of Holy Conversations. We will join in food and drink, and share our thoughts on Jesus, Scripture, Theology, Culture, and yes, politics. No topic is off the table. We will laugh, listen, learn and grow in our love for one another and our God. Come with an open heart, open mind, and be open to the Spirit. No Reservation is needed at this point.

There is an $8 parking fee at the trailhead unless the driver has a national park pass.
