Not the Self Help Section
If most people weren't wanting to make their lives a little better, the self help sections of bookstores, libraries and websites wouldn't keep growing.
Christians learn, however, that self help is a very limited road. At some point they encounter the divine and realize how much more possibility there is for life. Jesus the human being lived 2000 years ago but his example and teaching were so life changing, that ever since people have looked to them for guidance.
During 2011-2012 we will be traveling with Jesus, listening to Jesus, learning from Jesus for insights and guidance toward the more abundant and joyful life. Learn from Jesus the Teacher is the theme that will inform worship times, adult education, and other events around the church during the fall.
Who should we welcome?
What value should we put on possessions?
When should we turn the other cheek?
Where should we draw the line between ourselves and others that don't agree with us?
Why does it matter if we pray?
How do we achieve the abundant life?
If you've ever wondered about any of these questions or have some of your own, join us for worship, Bible study or adult education this year. But beware, your life may be changed.
~~ Pastor Linda
