God In the Daily News
The church should be a setting where we can “think through” and respond rather than react. We should be able to parse out the reactionary thoughts from the responsive thoughts. Our faithful responses to complex issues come from those higher functioning place in our brain, a place that is connected to the more thoughtful part of our souls.
You are invited to talk together, to reason it out and to share with each other the daily news from the perspective of the responsive and responsible people of God. Join us the first Friday of each month 8:00 am to 9:00 am. Bring a brown bag breakfast and we’ll talk about God in the Daily News.
