How does our faith inform our leadership in areas outside of the church? Are there higher values and ways to Christian leadership other than conventional wisdom? For three weeks, we will be studying Henri Nouwen’s short book and exploring ways Christians can lead in our own spheres of influence. We will conveniently meet during the children’s choir rehearsal from January 18 - February 1 from 6 pm-7 pm in the conference room of the office suite.

Books can be ordered at https://amzn.to/3IngUph or you can find a previous edition PDF at https://bit.ly/3vC5pCF Go ahead and read the Introduction and Part 1 for our discussion.

Sundays, January 22 - March 5

6 pm -7:30 pm

Online with Ebby Arnold from The Candler Foundry.

In this six-week course, we explore the issues that the church in Corinth faced and the Apostle Paul’s conversations with them. We also look at the particulars of the situations and how Paul consistently emphasizes the “big picture”—the Corinthians’ embodiment of Jesus. This course will also look beyond the issues to the emotional relationship between Paul and the church in crisis and how they can offer support and guidance to the church in our context as the church navigates the particular conflicts of the 21st century.
