LOVE
MORE! LIVE BETTER!
How do you love those unlovable people? How do
you get rid of those feelings of animosity? How
do you end a grudge? How do you feel about it?
You feel better every time. That’s what
the Spiritual Renewal Retreat is all about. We’ll
be investigating the ways to improve our quality
of life by learning to love more as Jesus taught
us. It feels good to love first. It’s really
the only time that we discover the kind of love
of which we’re capable. We expect a blessing
at First Baptist during and following the sessions
on November 6 and 7, 2009. Call now to reserve
your place in a workshop. We look forward to your
being there. Call the church office (934-9771)
to make your reservation today.
