New Wine in New Wineskins
 

- Small Church Communities -
- Whole Community Catechesis -
- Doing Things Differently -

New wineskins for the church in our day. Together, they help to capture the movement of the spirit in our times.
 

 Come join us in northwestern Pennsylvania,   
on the lakeshore and among the vineyards,
as we discover, celebrate and grow together
in our understanding of the relationship
between these endeavors.
