Anger. Rage. Bitterness. These are the poisonous fruits that come from an unforgiving heart, often creating cycles of misery which we find hard to break. Politics, family dynamics, past hurt or trauma and even our own mistakes and  failures can create both a problem and an opportunity for us. The problem centers around the challenge of forgiving, and the opportunity centers around opening ourselves to renewed love. Join us each week on Wednesdays from February 25th through April 1st, as we embark on a potentially life-changing Lenten journey along the 'fourfold path of forgiveness' as outlined in the wisdom and research of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter, Rev. Mpho Tutu. Registration is required for this book study. Please contact the church office or Amber Jones for further details.
