TUESDAY MORNINGS, 8.45-10.15a, at the church

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS, 6.15-8p, in homes

A Teaching in Three Parts…

In this intensive course with times for teaching, individual reflection, and group discussion, we see how God uses questions from Genesis to the Gospels to comfort and convict his people at points of impasse, in their moments of heartbreak, sickness, restlessness, and rebellion… questions such as, “Where are you?... What have you done?... What is your name?... Why are you afraid?... What do you want?... Do you love me?” We apply these questions to our own areas of dislocation, using them to calibrate our hearts, re-orienting them in the Gospel of Christ.

This spring we will meet Friday, May 3rd, 5:00-8:30p; and Saturday, 8:30-4:30p, at the home of Muffie Wells. It is limited to 8 women at a time and calls for attendance at all sessions, with 30 days of preparation leading up to our course. A $30 fee covers meals and supplies.

This course is currently full. To learn more, join the wait list, or sign up for a future session, please contact Deacon Lisa.
