Next series

Hey leaders
I just wanted to let you know that throughout August, we will be doing a series entitled Things I Keep.
The idea is that there are certain things i have to take responsibility for. If you choose to follow along with the Sunday morning messages for your group discussion time, you might be interested to know that we will begin with our minds. We have to take responsibility for availing ourselves to the transformation God wants to do in us...but we have gotten used to masking our thoughts and feelings. Should be toe-stompingly fun. Then we will discuss our responsibility to each other. We are responsible for each other, how that is distinct from in control of others, or somehow subject to the consequences they may pull down on their own head. Week three, Andy Stanley will wake us though some important thoughts on who we surround ourselves with. He has a track record for being kinda helpful, so count on that. We will then discuss envy and wanting to have other people's responsibilities and how that's toxic for our contentment and gratitude and wholeness in life. Then, we will close with money, and all of what the word resources means. Should be a fun series, and should catalyze good discussion.
As always, share with us the stories, no matter how big or small, about how God is at work through these discussion, your serving, and your all out desire to live kingdom lives as a group of travelers toward Christ.

Peace,
Steve
