10am Sunday Adult Religious Education (ARE):
ARE Discussion Group:
Meets downstairs.
Topic: "The Disease of More."
Blogger Mark Manson takes an irreverent look at the pitfalls of always wanting more: more stuff, more prestige, more self-improvement. "What if there is no 'next level'?" he asks. "What if it’s just an idea you made up in your head? What if you’re already there and not only are you not recognizing it, but by constantly pursuing something more, you’re preventing yourself from appreciating it and enjoying where you are now?” Join us.
