Boost Your Relational Intelligence!

Continuing Sunday, January 8 at 9:15 and 10:45 a.m. 

 

There is an old saying, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, bring others with you." How far do you want to go in your relationships... with co-workers? ... with neighbors? ... with your family or small group? ... even God? 

 

Join us for the this series as we learn practical ways to raise our relational IQ. It will enable you to take your relationships farther than they have ever gone before.
