| Wednesday Evening Group Forming
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twisting the Truth Unraveling the Lies That Twist Our Lives This six week study exposes four destructive and all-too-prevalent lies about authority, pain, sex, and sin. They're deceptions powerful enough to ruin our relationships, our lives, even our eternities-but only if we let them. Twisting the Truth untwists the lies that can drag us down. With his gift for straight, to-the-heart communication, Andy Stanley helps us exchange falsehoods for truths that can turn our lives completely around.
Wednesdays Starting 3/24 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm Bring your dinner (or not) Room 102 Jim Liberatore: Facilitator RSVP a place or childcare here
