March Seminar: Becoming Safe People in Conflict
Join us March 5th to learn how to become safe people in conflict
Why do we want to be safe people in conflict? It helps us grow in relationship with God and one another by listening well, and growing in self-awareness and emotional health. It also ties into our current sermon series “Nations and Neighborhoods.” Over the last few months we have been asking a lot of questions about how to adopt a listening posture in the neighborhoods we inhabit. Conflict happens at every level of society from the family, to the workplace, and even to the church. Rather than shy away from conflict, it can actually become an opportunity where God helps us to grow more like him.
Family Fun at the Fire Pit!
Join us Saturday, Dec 18 for an opportunity to make s’mores, have hot chocolate and cider, and enjoy time together around the fire pit. Feel free to bring food for yourselves or to share. And feel free to bring a friend.
RSVP for address.
