Summer 2014

Early in the summer, several of us thought that Tyler's suggestion of FaithLinks sounded great. They are electronic lessons based on CURRENT events available for download (about $10 each).


June 22 - Final segment of Max Lucado's You'll Get Through This

June 29 - Just Coffee will not meet

July 6 - Just Coffee will not meet

July 13 - FaithLink: Freedom, Disagreement, and the Christian Faith - Tyler
"Freedom in our country means that many people will express ideas and positions that are very different from ours, especially in the political arena. How does Christian faith guide us through our differences? How do we pray for leaders when we disagree with them?"

July 20 - FaithLink: Creative Conflict - Tyler
"Human beings have differing and often strong opinions and ideas about a variety of topics. Such differences can lead to conflicts, stalemates, and broken relationships. How can Christians respect different points of view and use them in creative ways for the good of all?"

July 27 - FaithLink: Multitasking and Spiritual Practices - Tabitha
"Many people who live a fast-paced lifestyle value multitasking. What is multitasking, and is it beneficial? What does the Christian faith teach us about paying attention?"

 Aug 3 - Selfies - Marcie
Selfies was the word of the year for 2013, according to Oxford Dictionaries. What is a selfie, and what does this phenomenon say about our culture and our self-image in the digital age? How does our faith influence the way we present ourselves?



Aug 10 - Anxiety and Faith - Laurel
Situations in our daily lives can cause us to feel great anxiety. What is anxiety? How does Christian faith help us when we feel anxious?



Aug 17 - The Devil Made Me Do It? - Traci
Christianity claims that good ultimately wins out over evil, but clearly evil does win some of the battles. How can Christians understand the nature of evil and how to combat it? 



Aug 24 - Sweat of the Brow - Kelly
What's the point of Labor Day? What role does organized labor play in our economy? How does our daily work shape our identities? How can our Christian beliefs affect our workplaces?
