| Church To Begin A Study of THE PATH: CREATING YOUR MISSION STAMENT FOR WORK AND FOR LIFE In Late February One of the important things on church’s upcoming calendar is a revision of our mission and vision statements…but the best place to start that process is to work on our own personal mission and vision statements. We’ll be shepherded along by the wisdom of Laurie Beth Jones’ book THE PATH. This short, but wise book is now available for purchase for $13 at the church, though you can easily purchase at bookstores or online. There will be a Sunday morning group that meets after worship, starting on February 21, and a Tuesday morning, February 23 at 10 AM at the home of Suzi Blough. |
