"Agape Latte"
WHAT: “Dance: the Hidden Language of the soul”: When we dance, we find ourselves in a familiarity and rhythm with others. We touch, we hold, we embrace, we dip. It is our passions that motivate us. When our passion turns towards love, we have become transformed from our own personal motivations towards the self-less care for another. When we dance for love, we enter freely into the embrace- attempting to gage the rhythm, tempo, and needs of the partner – offering ourselves to the other. John Gencarelli and Angela Welch will facilitate an evening for the whole person; body, mind and spirit, for if we are to become fully the Body of Christ as church, we must continually understand and care for the whole body.
WHEN: March 16: 6:30 – 9:00pm
WHERE: St. Leo (102nd & Blondo)
INFO: Agape Latte is a monthly event designed for Young adults in their 20’s and 30’s seeking to learn more about faith and religion in an inviting
social environment. Join us for free desserts, coffee, and an engaging experience followed by Q&A.
