Difficult Relationships

Difficult Relationships

Do you or a loved one struggle with social situations? Does making friends, finding genuine connection, and understanding love prove more difficult than you might think? Do you find navigating workplace, online, romantic, interpersonal, and internal interactions to be overwhelming, confusing, or even foreign? Do you sometimes feel alone or unsure of how to build a genuine community? Are you curious what Jesus has to say about how we interact with others? If so, relationships might be right for you! Side effects of relationships may include getting along better with others, authentic community, increased intimacy, better sense of self, and Christ centered community. Ask your doctor if “Relationships.” is right for you.

It’s time to hop in your one-horse open sleigh and join us this Advent as we discover the true meaning of Christmas, starring a baby born in Bethlehem that will fill our hearts with smiles.

We can think that our giftedness, our personality type, our job title, or our identity as a spouse or a parent somehow defines us. We might think our woundedness is the truest thing about us. But in reality, it is our desire and our capacity to reach for God that is the deepest essence of who we are. We cry out to God for meaning and purpose that is more than running a race to win medals. Running the spiritual race is about connecting deeply to God, others, and ourselves. Just like the world prepares for the Olympic trials, join us in worship as we prepare to run the most important race of all, the one that leads us closer to God and who we are meant to be as God’s children.
