It was the beginning of a great and wonderful love story of which we get to be a part! (I also added a new blog post! :-) Walking Through the Stories -- Lesson 1-- "God: Who is He?" In this first lecture in the series "Walking Through the Stories" we will spend time studying some of the scriptural truths about God. I would be embarrassed, but... I would be embarrassed about the fact that I have not blogged in 2 years, but decided not to waste time making excuses and apologizing. :-) Instead I will just get to the heart of the matter. We will be kicking off a new study in just a few weeks...3 to be exact. "Walking Through the Stories: Starting with Genesis" will begin on August 17th. It is going to be a time of slowly going through the stories and seeing what they teach us about God and the tapestry HE is weaving. I cannot wait!!!! God has been doing some cool things in our lives during this summer break. We knew ahead of time that He was calling us to a time of rest -- a sabbatical. We have spent the last 8 weeks really stepping back from ministry and even visiting other churches, just for the sake of visiting. We have gotten to experience some great and fresh times of worship. We are SO thankful! I can't wait to start opening His word with you again. It is going to be an amazing time of discovery. Know that I am already praying for you! Karen Ps 119:1-5 |
