The Whole Truth Behind Half Truths – New Summer Study
May 23, 2018
Hope from Hood, Updates
Join us Sunday mornings as we explore popular sayings that miss the point. They are simple phrases, such as:
- Everything happens for a reason
- God helps those who help themselves
- Love the sinner, hate the sin
- and others.
They sound Christian – like something you might find in the Bible. We’ve all heard them. Maybe we’ve even said them. They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point in important ways. Discover the whole truth by comparing Christian cliches with the wisdom found in Scripture.1
From 10:00 – 10:30 am each Sunday morning during the Summer of 2018 (beginning Sunday May 27), we will explore a different “half truth” using author Adam Hamilton’s book Half Truths: God Helps Those Who Help Themselves and Other Things the Bible Doesn’t Say. Afterwards, enjoy coffee and fellowship before our church-wide worship begins at 11:00 am.
Where: Hood Memorial Christian Church, Fellowship Hall
When: Sundays, 10:00 am – 10:30 am
Who: Adults of All Ages!
Join a Short Term Task Force at Hood!
We are putting together a small team to create a plan to raise funds for several of our current and future projects at Hood, including:
- Stained glass window renovation,
- Organ repairs,
- Electrical upgrades,
- New hallway/nursery/parlor/office carpet installation
- And more accessible steps to the sanctuary pulpit area.
This task force is short term and therefore will meet only a few times (2-3 meetings) to create a fundraising plan. We anticipate the first meeting to be held sometime the second or third week of June. Please contact Pastor Jason at the church office (910-892-1711) to join this task force.
