Fall Faith 2011 - September 23 to November 11
Fearless Living: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace
based on the book "The I of the Storm" by Gary Simmons
“No one is against you. This is the absolute Truth. You may not believe it now. You may have a lifetime of evidence to the contrary. But until you realize that the entire universe is for you, you may never experience your wholeness and true worth.” Simmons
Join us as we learn how when we move to our center of wholeness, we realize that the Universe is for us. We will explore ways to find our way back to the “I” of the storm, to our center of wholeness in the midst of whatever conflict we encounter.
What to expect: For 7 weeks, we will study "The I of the Storm" during Sunday lessons, then take its teachings deeper through discussion in small group study circles the following week. Circles held at church, in-home and on skype. Details about how to get involved coming soon.

All that is asked of the participant is to open to receiving the blessing while holding a personal intention for the process. The Blessing helps bring forth freedom from hurt, fear, disease, addiction and can also help in the manifestation of love, prosperity, employment, awakening and more. Blessings are given based on a numbering system. Recipients are requested to arrive and be checked in no later than 6:00 p.m.
