“Conversations in
Greenwich" is an initiative of Greenwich
Presbyterian Church. We
hope that eventually there will be three
parts to these "Conversations":
The first part is "An
Evening’s Conversation".
On the last Thursday of each
month,
from February to November, there is
an interview
with some prominent and some
provocative people.
At a future date
there will be a group which gets together
each Sunday
from
5pm for "Continuing Conversations"
(the second part).
The name expresses our desire not to have
another meeting, but rather that these
meetings might start ongoing conversations
of real worth and mutual benefit that extend
well beyond Sundays at 5pm.
Both for adults and for
kids (‘Kids Conversations’
- the third part) these
will be in response to some part of the
Bible. Each week an mp3 file will be the
jumping off point for our conversations. To
make things practical we will also be
sharing a meal together so that you don’t
have to still go home and eat. |
