LIFE TALKS

January 29 @ 6:30 pm – 7:15 pm
The Umms, Nones, and Dones
REV. JODI HOUGE
It’s increasingly common to find friends, coworkers, neighbors, and family members who are skeptical about the Christian faith: Those who are curious about faith (the “Umms”), don’t claim any religious
affiliation (the “Nones”), or were previously engaged in their faith, but are now disconnected (the “Dones”). Pastor Jodi Houge speaks from her experience of planting a church in this changing context and how Christians are called to listen to, learn from, and love others, no matter where they are in their journey.
Our premiere adult education ministry includes inspiring weekly LIFE Talks and small group connections through LIFE Groups. The goal of LIFEU is to inspire you to “Live In Faith Everyday” (LIFE) rooted in the words of Jesus from John 10:10: “I came that they may have LIFE, and have it abundantly.” This year we seek to “Flourish Together,” wrestling with timely and relevant issues with those who know what it takes to flourish together in our relationships and communities.
