MOVING OUT OF SCARE CITY
NOVEMBER 1 – 22, 2015
The sense that there is not enough drives greed, fear and exclusionary behavior. We begin to live in “Scare City” where it seems that death, starvation, feelings of being overwhelmed and swallowed up can lurk around every corner. The Good News is that this is an illusion. A spiritual journey into the truth of abundance of all that we need offers us an alternative vision of where to live our lives. This series will have us “Moving out of Scare City” and traveling to the vast, open habitats of God’s grace.
November 1 – Towers of Power
November 8 – Around Every Corner
November 15 – The Other Side of the Tracks
November 22 – Altars Everywhere
