Life...Is There More?
You are warmly invited to three public addresses.
November 6,
Diving Deeper - Is there more to me
than just a brain and brawn? Is there more to life
in general?
November 13,
Believing Thoughtfully - What
exactly is “faith”? What resources are available if
we seek faith?
November 20,
Living Graciously
- How do we do that?
Each evening there will be:
An address (about
45 minutes) - A light meal - A forum for discussion
Please note this is not a “getting you to church”
exercise! It is an invitation to reconsider what life
and our lives are about. Please bring others with
you, there is no charge! 5-7pm Tairua Rugby and
Sports Club Rooms.
