The church’s Global Board of Discipleship recently sent out an email announcing a new Webinar which will occur on Thursday Feb. 27 (from 8-9PM our time). You do have to register in advance, but it’s free and you don’t have to attend the Webinar (or sit through the whole thing). You log in on Thursday night and listen to the presentation while exchanging comments with people from all over the country. It’s a great experience if you’ve never tried it (and it’s great if you HAVE tried it too!).
If you miss the Webinar, you can go back to the site and view an archive of it later.
The GBOD offers Webniars frequently, but this particular one fits into the topic that was presented in last week’s sermon (Sunday 2/16/14) and discussed during this week’s small group meetings. The topic is the “Means of Grace”. What are some of the practices that we can develop that put is into places where “God shows up”? To grow into a deeper knowledge we need to practice the “Means of Grace” by nurturing habits that make us “vulnerable” to God’s leading.
