New study beginning! If you've ever said the wrong thing - or said the right thing the wrong way- you know how quickly your mouth can make a big mess. But it doesn't have to be that way. A 6-session video study exploring how your wiring affects what you say, how you listen, and how others hear you will begin on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 9:30am in Room 217 of the TMC. This study is based on Paul's writing to the Ephesians. "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
A workbook is recommended and can be purchased here. Contact Becky Glidden (817.999.7268) if you have any questions.
