We will use First Corinthians: Living Love When We Disagree by Melissa Spoelstra to direct the study. This is an opportunity to look at our disagreements at home, at work, in the church; and find ways to workout our differences with grace and humility, always showing the love of Christ while still remaining true to what we believe. Based upon the 1st letter by the apostle Paul to the Corinthians, 1st Corinthians will provide the foundation to deal with differences and division through living and sharing the radical love of Jesus Christ. See Mt Zion's Facebook page for more details or contact Debra Leiss.
