NAVIGATING UNEASY RELATIONS
Figuring out how to handle strained relationships
is hard. Emotions can become tumultuous.
Opinions can harden. How are we
supposed to live out our faith? Loving others
can seem disconcerting, confusing and just
plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget
our Christian calling, simply dismissing or
degrading those whom we consider “other.”
You know, . . . THOSE People, THAT Person.
How can we better handle these difficulties?
In this journey, we will gain new insights into
the challenges of dealing with differences between
people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge
about loving God, others and self. Besides increasing
self-awareness through assessments,
questions and discussion, we will become
more intentional in action.
WHEN? EIGHT Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 PM
September 6-November 1, 2018 and ONE
Saturday Morning, 9 AM-Noon
November 10, 2018.
