BEHIND THE SCENES
J. Paul Turner and Gerald Hayse have worked with Pastor John Tader and many others to launch this elective.
Gerald has been responsible for implementing several ideas to better showcase LifeStory. He will lead an information session at Aberdeen Village on February 17th with the hope of launching a group. Gerald will also help facilitate this new elective approach next month. We hope many of you will attend any or all of the sessions.
The selected authors are some of the best. And we look forward to the discussion based on these themes: disappointment, prayer, loss & grief, healing, prison outreach, and God's providence.
