Jesus In Skin - On the Journey of Faith Together - Saturday, September 25
A Singles Event with Terry Hershey
7pm - Wesley Center
No one is a Christian alone. No one. Like it or not, we are on this journey of faith together. We are brother and sister. We are community. We are Jesus in skin. And if that is true, it dramatically changes the way we live.
Singles are invited to be transformed on Saturday, September 25 in the Wesley Center at 7pm as Terry Hershey speaks on “Jesus In Skin.” Author, humorist, inspirational speaker, ordained minister, golf addict, Terry divides his time between designing sanctuary gardens and sharing with the world his practice of “pausing” and “sanctuary” to help us do less and live more. To hear Terry is not just to gain information. It is an experience. And everywhere Terry speaks, the feedback is unanimous, “Terry Hershey was truly humorous, enlightening and inspiring all in one. He gave us permission to be embraced by grace. He was truly a highlight of our year!”
Event includes dessert, music, and Terry’s talk. $10 by September 20 (under “About Us/Prepays & Registrations”); Register online by clicking "Register Now" link above or Cari@clearlakemethodist.org / 281-488-5110 x135.

A Leadership Seminar with Terry Hershey

Christianity’s Family Tree - book by Adam Hamilton - This book presents a welcoming, inspiring vision of eight Christian denominations and faith traditions. Comparing the Christian family to our own extended families, it contends that each denomination has a unique, valuable perspective to offer on the Christian faith. The traditions examined are Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Presbyterianism, Anglicanism, Baptists, Pentecostalism, and Methodism. For each group, Hamilton gives a brief history, outlines major beliefs, and describes some things we can learn from that tradition to strengthen our own Christian faith. This 9-week class begins on Monday, September 13 at 7pm and ends on November 8. Cost $12/book.
