The Sacred Life of Friends (a 4-week series)
September 16 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm CDT

In gratitude for their own 50 years of friendship, Debbie and Mary Kay have created this series to celebrate the priceless gift God gives us in our friends. Together, let’s explore friendships from Scripture, the lives of the saints, and history, while also sharing inspiring relationships from our own lives. Sign up for this course with friends, or join us to make new ones! This series will include a combination of input, faith sharing, creative processing, and prayer.
Please register by September 14.
