One Month to Live - For most of us, if we knew we only had one month to live, we would live our lives differently. We would be more authentic about who we are and more deliberate about how we spend the time we have. But such a contrast begs the question: What keeps us from living this way now? Beginning on Easter Sunday, we invite YOU to join us as we embark upon this 30-Day Challenge to discover the purposeful, joyful, abundant life God created us to enjoy! Stop by the display table in the lobby to sign up for one of the small groups that will be meeting for four weeks of this study, April 11-May 2.
