The kind of commitment needed is about one (1) Wednesday night per month, from 6:30 pm - 8:45 pm. If you wish to participate or need more information, please contact Roland.

Sacred Space: Exploring Life in the Way of Jesus
Roland Kuhl gathers people together on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. at the Libertyville Caribou by the Metra station in downtown Libertyville. Sacred Space is a place to explore life in the way of Jesus. It is a conversational, creative, exploratory, and spiritual community for those interested in engaging life together. Participants engage in conversation without preconception or judgment, engaging and listening to one another, helping each other discover together what life might be like in the way of Jesus. Though Roland is not currrently blogging about Sacred Space, you can read past postings at Sacred Space.
