One Thousand Gifts

Wednesdays, Sep 3-Oct 1 | 6:30-8pm | Rm 106 | Adults | Led by: Sarah Yeackley & Lisan Smith

In this video-based Bible study, Ann Voskamp encourages participants to take on the life-changing discipline of journaling God’s gifts – to really look at life and find the good in it. It’s only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have that we discover the life we’ve always wanted…a life we can take, give thanks for, and use to serve others. And only then can we know right down in our core, we are wildly loved by God.
