Dear Friends,

Over the fall the clergy and staff have been doing a study together on what it means to pursue Emotionally Healthy Spirituality.  This was a study that was written be well-known author Peter Scazzero, who I discovered while reading about the stability and growth that comes through following a Rule of Life.  

Beginning in the first week of February and running for eight weeks, we will be asking all of our Life Groups to take on this material, watch a video and have some discussion.  I know that for some of you weekly meetings may be difficult and that many of your groups meet only every other week.  This program is very flexible and can be watched on your own at home online with a workbook or utilized in a group.  I want to strongly suggest you make every effort to do this in a small group setting as this won’t be helpful if we don’t pursue this together as a church.

We will be offering a couple of additional groups during the week and after church for those of you who don’t have a Life Group and would be willing to sacrifice the time that is needed in order to Grow and Know Jesus more.  All together as a church we may see that the effect of such a study will help us live out our Mission to: Love, Grow, Serve and Go in order to live out the Great commandment and to Fulfill the Great Commandment.
