planning session this wednesday

we will plan the february 25 well gathering this wednesday at 8 pm at the family life center.

starting this month we will meet on the first wednesday of each month to plan the next well and briefly discuss the previous one.

we’d love to have you there this Wednesday to help us brainstorm.

theme ideas for february

"Jesus - unsafe for the whole family" (how Christ challenges us to live outside our comfort zones, etc.)

“forgiveness” (forgiving ourselves/forgiving others)

“what a christian looks like” / “what the church looks Like” (You can substitute “doesn’t look like” if you prefer)

leave a comment with more ideas

"aslan is on the move!"
