CONNECTING THE DOTS<br />
Ron Clegg • Ages Under 35 & 45-65, Room A<br />
How do we connect the truths of the Gospel with everyday<br />
life, including fears, idols, addictions, and reactions to daily<br />
situations? We will apply together what we know to how we live.<br />
WHAT'S DIFFERENT HERE<br />
David Clark & John Foreman • Ages 35-45 & Over 65, Room D<br />
How does the Gospel challenge and transform cultural<br />
assumptions we may not even realize we live with? We will<br />
examine together our unexamined expectations and how the<br />
Gospel changes everything.<br />
