Fran Park Memorial Lecture

Fellowship Hall

For You have kept the choice wine until last: Wine, beauty, and the feasting of the saints 
Wine is a gift from God that can enhance and deepen our celebrations and elicit a deeper sense of joy in our midst. And yet, for many the theme of wine and alcohol carries ambivalent feelings and latent suspicions: is wine really a spiritual gift that leads into a more full-bodied spirituality? We will both celebrate this gift but also look at the history of why wine came into disrepute and how we might embrace this delicious gift with gratitude and wisdom in order to develop a joy-filled, sustainable and wholesome relationship with wine. We are excited to be the host for the initial release of Gisela’s new book: Cup Overflowing: Wine’s Story of Faith, Feasting, and Fellowship.

Copies will be available for purchase, which Gisela will sign. For more details, contact Kelly McGinn at kmcginn@pinnaclepres.org.
