GRACE: GOD FOR YOU
Grace is God for you. The good news of Jesus is grace for salvation that enables us to enter into the joy and love of God now and forever. Is God’s grace like the air you breathe? How can you grow in breathing it more? Growing in our understanding and practice of grace will make our homes places of joy, forgiveness, authenticity, patience, creativity, gratitude, and hospitality as opposed to places of hiding, anger, moralism, selfishness, hopelessness, and places people don’t want to be.

Intentionality and Simplicity - Bruce & Mary L. and Mark & Lea M.
In our session, we would like to consider some of the ways that God displays His grace through the different seasons of our lives. We hope to recognize His provision of guidance and discernment which is available to help us be intentional in our decision making. We will use personal testimony, Scripture, and a question and answer format to facilitate our discussion.
Hospitality - Tim & Lydia W. and Tom & Suzanne A.
A HEART for hospitality. The joy of blessing others. God’s grace at work through imperfect people.
Panel discussion followed by Q&A.
Learning to Lament - Pastor Clint
When difficult things happen...when our hearts are broken...when we feel forgotten by God...how do we come to God? In this session we will consider God's gift of lament. What is lament? Is it okay to lament? How do we lament? How can lamentation draw us closer to Jesus? What are some potential dangers for those who do not lament?
4:00 BREAKOUT SESSIONS (2nd set)
When an adult loved one is not walking with Jesus - Dan & Judy S.
Everyone has adult loved ones who do not follow Jesus. This can be a heavy burden whether it is a parent, sibling, or adult child. In this session we will discuss how we can follow Jesus as we let Him change us and as we show grace to our non-believing loved one.
Prioritizing Creativity - Nathan & Lindsay H.
Jesus's death and resurrection is an invitation to come and experience the lavish, unhindered, dazzling love of the Father God who loved you and created you for His joy, His delight, and His glory. As His image bearers, we will explore why it is crucial for the Body of Christ to commit space and time to practice "co-creating" with our Creator in order to thrive and move forth the gospel of Jesus in a world full of evil, shame, and darkness.
Preparing to Die Well - Bob C.
Laying wreaths at military cemeteries around the world, giving a widow an American flag at the graveside, duties as a Casualty Assistance Officer, observing family turmoil around a loved one in a coma, and other situations has shaped my thinking on dying well. Most importantly, Scripture teaches us that wisdom ponders death. By Scripture and personal example our session will help us better prepare our families for our death.
Childcare available for children ages 0-3 years and 4 years through 6th grade.
RSVP by April 1st.
