Winter Forums: February 12, 19, and 26
9:45 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. What a treat! For our 2012 Winter Forum, Mel Williams will lead our study as we reflect on passages from the book of Ephesians. Focusing on our identity as God’s people, Ephesians challenges us to claim our identity and to use our gifts and call to promote peace, love, and respect as we live into God’s future. As Paul says it in a prayer, “…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith as you are being rooted and grounded in love.” (Ephesians 3:17) Mark your calendars, bring your Bibles, and come ready to ponder our life together as God’s people in this place.
