T hank you for your generous giving and ongoing support of these organizations & ministries!

Spring Discipleship Studies

Tuesdays @1:30 beginning March 12th (6 weeks)

Morningside - Fireside Room

"Living the Way of Love: A 40-Day Devotional (Mary B. Sullivan)"

Reflections follow the practices of The Way of Love: Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest. Each devotion includes a passage of scripture, a story, and reflection questions. Sullivan tells stories from her own and others' experiences as a starting point for discussion about how to seek and find a deeper connection to God. Rotating through each practice so that each is covered once a week, going deeper into the practice throughout the forty days, each reflection ends with questions designed to spur further discussion and assist readers in making the practices their own.
