This week at LLWC – October 2, 2022

Pastor Andy will be sharing a message called “The Lost Sons” from Luke 15:11-14. 

  • Children’s Ministry: We will be offering children’s ministry ALL YEAR LONG! 
    • HOWEVER…This Sunday Children will remain with their parents / guardians for the entire service.
    • Once a month we will intentionally NOT offer children’s ministry in order to give our volunteers a break but also to give parents/guardians the opportunity to have their children with them for the entire service. The other Sundays of the month the children will stay with their parents/guardians for the music time after which they will be dismissed to the Fellowship Hall for the duration of the service.

      • Fasting helps you separate what you want from what you need. It causes you to focus on those things that really matter. -Jentezen Franklin.

Deeply Changing Your Relationships with Others

This powerful 8-week Course will equip you with practical tools to really love people in difficult situations and mature into an adult follower of Jesus.

Eight Powerful Relationship Changing Skills:

    • Take Your Community Temperature Reading
    • Stop Mind Reading and Clarify Expectations
    • Genogram Your Family
    • Explore the Iceberg
    • Listen Incarnationally
    • Climb the Ladder of Integrity
    • Fight Cleanly
    • Develop a “Rule of Life” to Implement Your New Learnings

The EH Relationships course participants pack includes two books:

    • an 8-session workbook/biblical study-guide with reading, questions and practical discussion to reinforce each of the 8 skills
    • an EH Relationships Day by Day 40-day devotional with daily readings that align with the core theme of each session.

This course is not for self-study and must be done in groups to get the full impact of each “learning to love others” skill. In addition, it is highly recommended the EH Spirituality course be taken first.
