SUMMARY:Beyond Bitterness with Fiona Castle
DESCRIPTION:It’s a delight to see so many older people in our churches sharing their gifts\, their love of Jesus\, and their faith with others. They have navigated the challenges and disappointments of life and continue to live in ways that glorify Jesus well into later life. But in almost every church\, there are also christians for whom the challenges and disappointments of life have resulted in unforgiveness\, bitterness and resentment. What a blessing it would be for these individuals\, for the church\, and for God’s kingdom\, if they could be supported to move beyond bitterness and into the flourishing later life promised in the Bible. \nWe’re so pleased therefore\, to have Fiona Castle come and talk with our Church Champions on this important and lifegiving subject in July. \nYou can join us at either 1:30pm or at 7:30pm on Thursday 10th July for this event. \nRegister here for FREE for either of the above sessions.
