What does it mean to forgive? How do I forgive someone who has wronged me, and how can I know that I have actually forgiven them? How do I begin to forgive myself and believe that God has forgiven me - especially when I feel guilt? In this 5-week series, we'll discover the gift of true forgiveness of others and ourselves as it opens the way to abundant life. The series culminates with a healing service.
What do you know about the Special General Conference called by our United Methodist Bishops for February, 2019? To learn about the Commission on a Way Forward go to the UM Church website at http://www.umc.org/who-we-are/%20commission-on-a-way-forward to checkout the Commission's work. This is from the website: "The Commission is to do a complete examination and possible revision of every paragraph of the Book of Discipline concerning human sexuality and explore options that help to maintain and strengthen the unity of the church." Join us after service on April 8th as we discuss the Commission On A Way Forward and what it means for our church locally and abroad.
Music affects us. It connects to something deep within. This fact was not lost on those who wrote the Psalms. They knew the importance of joining a powerful message to music. However, over time the messages carried through the music have changed. Or have they? Through this six-week growth group, we will listen and examine the lyrics of songs from various generations and styles. We’ll discuss the message behind the music and how they mirror scripture or fly in the face of God’s teachings. What messages are these artists trying to get across? Are they appropriate? When we sing along to these songs, what is it that we are saying? Do we even know? Let’s find out the answers to these questions together. NOTE: There may be some explicit language discussed within the context of the music and therefore it is recommended that attendees be at least 13 years or older. When: Wednesday’s, 6:30-7:30pm, March 28-May 2, 2018 Where: Rahn’s Residence, 1600 Shenandoah Dr, Waunakee. Cost: Free Note: Each week is a stand-alone unit. Come to one or all weeks as you are able.
