Join Executive Director, Judy Reilly, for a book study based upon Brant Hansen’s book of the same name. Learn to live life with less stress and more care, by: (1) adjusting our expectations to fit human nature, (2) replacing perpetual anger with refreshing humility and gratitude, and (3) embracing forgiveness and beginning to love others in unexpected ways. This study lifts burdens from our backs and allows us to experience the joy of gratitude every day of their lives—flourishing the way God intended. Participants are asked to get the book and if desired, the workbook. They should attend the first session having read chapters 1 – 4. Please register by February 17th.
