2 to 4:15 PM Restarting

Worship at the River Sunday October 11 6pm

 

Carlene and I just finished a conference with Graham Cooke. It will take months for us to unpack all Holy Spirit taught us. This we know: God is a good God and we carry His Favor!

 

We are looking forward to Worship at the River beginning the 2nd Sunday's each month on a regular basis.

 

As a companion event, we are inviting Don and Genie Howard to lead "Restarting" (info below)

 

(Carlene): Darrell and I recently attended a Thrive Conference ...the teaching has literally freed us from many of our fears and painful struggles. Darrell would tell you how much he enjoyed the sessions and how surprised he was in the results.  I was too.  It was well worth the time spent in focusing on the love we both feel for each other and how to "thrive" in our marriage. 

 

Schedule for Sunday Oct 11th 

 

2 to 4:15 PM  Restarting
4:15 to 5 PM  Dance
5 to 6 PM       Dinner (bring your own or visit nearby restraunts)

6 PM             Worship at the River

 

Bless you, and this photo of our grandson Calvin summarizes what we all desire... PURE JOY!!

Restarting:

 

A revolutionary solution-based approach for building joy, receiving inner healing, and developing life-giving relationships.

Restarting offers hope for those that have tried other approaches and still feel hurt, empty, alone, and ashamed of their struggles and behaviors. Restart your recovery for the first time!
When your life is more painful and out-of-control than you like: Find the skills to bring you to peace and joy. Rebuild your life after addictions, abuse and loss. Trauma weakens your brain’s control center. Addictions hijack your brain’s attachment center. Strategic spiritual and mental training restarts your life.

In my own life, this material has given me a new dimension to life and relationships.  It has been almost like  watching the story about Dorothy in Kansas in black and white being replaced by the beautiful Technicolor images in Oz.   

And just think, the prescription one needs to take is JOY!  Joy is not only good for me but it is wonderful fun!
