MON OCT 19 | Gospel Conversations: Sharing our Stories

OCT 19, OCT 26, NOV 2, NOV 9 | 8:30–9:30 PM

How do we witness the gospel of Christ to each other—and see the work of God in our own lives? One of the most life-giving exercises we can do as Christians is to reflect on how the story of Jesus Christ has changed our own life-story. This spiritual discipline deepens our understanding of the gospel and helps us craft a reason for our faith that may be the most natural, personal, and compelling gospel witness that we will ever share with another person. Join us for a four-session workshop as we learn how to share our testimonies. We’ll have opportunities to learn, practice, ask questions, and hear each other’s stories about the grace and power of God. Email Amy with questions!

Tea & Story: Seeing God in our Ordinary

MONDAYS, 1:30–2:00 PM. Sign in 10 minutes early just to chat.

God has made us for story—to be part of his and to hear each other’s. One woman shares a time when God was very present to her, also shares a Bible verse that relates, then we have a brief time of silence, then we are placed in random breakout groups, each of which has a leader, and we share from a few presented questions (not pressure to share).  Then we go back to the main room and have a brief closing.  We aim to be vigilant about keeping to 1/2 hour.
