This week at
Thirsty Thursdays - Young Adult Bible Study
"Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed."
(Luke 5:15-16, NIV)
After Jesus healed the leper huge crowds came to him for healing. The demands were overwhelming but in the midst of the pressure Jesus would withdraw to pray. Many of us face demanding schedules and try to fit 30 hours into each 24 hour day. But despite our responsibilities, expectations, and desires, we must make time to care for ourselves and remain connected to God.
Join us this week and bring a friend as we continue preaching and teaching on balance - personal, social, emotional, professional, academic, and spiritual balance.
