WINDOWS OF FAITH: A WAY TO REVISIT CONFIRMATION WITHOUT THE PAIN, EMBARRASMENT OR MEMORIZATION
Remember confirmation? Me neither, except that I hated it. Only in college did some of what I learned start to be relevant or make sense. That's why I'm offering Windows of Faith. It is a great way to rediscover the basics of the faith from an adult perspective. If you have wanted to figure out what Christianity is about, or would like a refresher on the faith, come to Windows of Faith on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00, starting February 27. You will not be put on the spot, made to feel dumb, or anything else except WELCOME. Call 353-1928 or 557-8836 for more information, or visit our website at www.highergroundtxstate.org.
