Worth Celebrating In-Person Gathering
An Afternoon with Mimi Dixon and Richard Foster
This event has passed.
You’re invited to a very special free event (in-person and Livestream) on Sunday, June 23, 2024, hosted by Carolyn Arends, featuring Richard Foster and Miriam (“Mimi”) Dixon.
What’s the Celebration?
We’ll be celebrating the release of Mimi’s new book, Worth Celebrating, which tells the behind-the-scenes story of the humble beginnings of Richard’s classic book, Celebration of Discipline, and the “improbable global movement” it sparked.
The Free In-Person Gathering:
Come join Richard (in a very rare public appearance), Mimi, and Carolyn for an afternoon in Atlanta, GA. Learn more about the little church where Richard Foster and Dallas Willard once took a congregation on a spiritual disciplines journey — incubating an approach to life with God that continues to transform lives to this day.

Trinity Anglican Church
2270 Defoor Hills Rd NW
Atlanta, GA 30318
