Wednesday Evening or Sunday Morning

"This Sacred Journey" Lenten Bible Study taught by Joan Watson begins February 28; Sunday mornings at 9:30; Wednesday evenings at 6:30. The lessons taught on Wednesdays will be repeated on Sunday mornings.

The Christian life is intended as a sacred journey. It is to be a life lived joyfully and purposefully in the presence of God and by the abundant grace of God. Often such an ideal eludes even the most faithful. Without awareness, we can slip into living a "ho-hum" kind of existence with little hope of change. Sometimes we even find ourselves driven by compulsion, harnessed by fear, haunted by shame or guilt. During these weeks we will explore "the sacred" around us and within us as we seek to live more faithfully our own sacred journey.
