Happy summer!! This has been a year of challenges and changes. Summer rest is well deserved. Summer is also a great time for reflection and to connect with others. It is time for new vision and to generate ideas for bringing Christ into our lives and into the work we do with students.
This year’s book is “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer.
Below is a description.
“Who am I becoming?”
That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words:
“Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.”
It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil.
Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.
Here are our meeting dates and reading assignments:
June 28th- Part 1
July 12th- Part 2
July 26th- Intermission Section
August 9th- Part 3
Let’s work together to put things in place to eliminate hurry in our own lives.
No RSVP required! Just bring your book and join in!
For those of you who love being on the water, bring a kayak or paddle board and we can enjoy some summer weather together.
