New Series Starts Sunday

Well.....I am back in the saddle. The Hibbard family had a great time away for 3 days and even got in one day of snow skiing. The weather was beautiful and the snow was actually pretty good too. (not always the case in NC...) It was different this time as Peyton snowboarded for the first time and Brady went skiing for the first time ever. For a 3 year old turning 4 in May.....he did awesome. Once he was done with the worthless ski lessons, I took him down the bunny slopes and then we hit the big time. He had a great time ridding the big lift and then skiing down the big slopes and as he said...."going really fast!"

While I was a way playing......our staff and volunteers completely redesigned the stage as we kick off a new message series this Sunday. This Sunday we start a great series called Graceful. We will look at how we can use this thing called Grace in very specific areas of our life. Here is the exciting lineup:

February 22nd Graceful Living: Enjoying today as we move on from a painful past that now causes shame and guilt.

March 1st Graceful Parenting: A new perspective on what our kids need from us can radically change our parenting style and make it more productive.

March 8th Graceful Giving: When we are a person who is truly grateful for what we have been given, then we become a gracious giver.

March 15th Graceful Dying: Dying is something that will happen to all of us. Once we conquer our fear of death....we can start to really live.

Over the last few weeks we have learned the real meaning of the word Love and how to apply it to our everyday life. This will be a great new learning on the word Grace!
