PLEASE JOIN US FOR AN EXCITING 6-WEEK ADVENTURE!

                Unbinding Your Heart: January 8-February 15, 2012

    Join us for a very special, all-church study of Unbinding Your Heart. “This book is about untying the knots that keep us from living exciting lives” … with God and with each other. “It’s about unbinding the Good News that God adores us and everyone else, and that God has shown this to us through Jesus Christ.”* It’s also a prayer journal with many forms of classic Christian prayer included in the daily prayers that accompany the study.

    We are calling this rich small group experience an ‘E-vent’ and we would love to have you as part of one of these groups. You can share in the group experience with no pressure to “do” anything other than read each week’s chapter, do the daily prayer exercises and attend six meetings.

    People in churches across the country are excited about what is happening in their congregations through their ‘E-vents’: deeper relationships with God, a rich, meaningful personal prayer life, and a new sense of God’s activity in their lives. People are saying they can be more ‘real’ with others as their relationship with God grows … and that this extends to relationships within their families and with people in every area of their lives.

    Call the church at 540-483-2087 for group meeting days and times and to receive your copy of Unbinding Your Heart. We’d love to have you with us!
