| ►‘Snacks with Susan and Daryl’ discussion class | |
Love isn’t a feeling. It’s an activity. It’s something you do. And participating in the act of love is the secret to understanding God’s love — the secret to a life well lived.
How is that kind of love done?
The how is what this study is about. Real growth happens when you learn how to tap into the empowering, energizing love of God. Using it fills you. Risking it secures you. Giving it satisfies you.
⯀ I’m With You — we’ve been given the invitation to love. Taking it seriously is where life meets faith.
⯀ Free To Fail — exploring the nature of failure, how it works, and what God does
with it.
⯀ Audacious Love — understanding why receiving love is essential to giving love.
⯀ Be Not Afraid — chasing out the anxieties that keep us from acting and living the life that Jesus has called us to.
⯀ Follow Me — delving into how to bring our passions and plans together and bind them to God’s plan.
Join Snacks with Susan and Daryl as we dive into our February study. We meet in annex room 4 on Sundays at 9 a.m. We hope to see you there.
| ►Adult Bible study class, led by Bill and Catherine | |
We have begun a new study in the Book of Hebrews. Come join us in this new journey. We meet on Sundays at 9 a.m. in annex room 2.
