You love your neighbor, but do you know their name? 
Consider wearing a name tag at church. Make conversation and connection easy by wearing your name tags. Our ushers will be assisting you in locating your tags. If you do not have a name tag,  please write your name on the form in the back of the church. 

Christian Formation
Sunday Morning Adult Christian Formation

Beginning August 7, Sunday Mornings at 9:15 AM
Beginning Sunday August 7, we will meet to discuss Henri Nouwen's Book Discernment: Reading the Signs of Everyday Life.

"Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life features the wisdom that spiritual leader and counselor Henri J. M. Nouwen brought to the essential question asked by every Christian and seeker: What should I do with my life?
 
Nouwen emphasizes listening to the Word of God—in our hearts, in the Bible, in the community of faith, and in the voice of the poor as a way to discern God’s plan.
Although the late Henri J. M. Nouwen counseled many people during his lifetime, his principles of discernment were never collected into a single volume. Now, in association with the Nouwen Legacy Trust, Michael Christensen—one of Nouwen’s longtime students—and Rebecca Laird have taken his coursework, journals, and unpublished writings to create this and other books in the series exploring God’s will for your life."
