POSITIVELY ENGAGING: A STUDY FOR WOMEN Spring: Thurs. from 4/13-6/1 at 9:00am or 7:00pm Luke: Gut-Level Compassion by Lisa Harper PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED! Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated facade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join Lisa Harper in this video Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked! Registration is $25. Childcare

POSITIVELY ENGAGING: A STUDY FOR WOMEN Spring: Thurs. from 4/13-6/1 at 9:00am or 7:00pm Luke: Gut-Level Compassion by Lisa Harper PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED! Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe you can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated facade you present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join Lisa Harper in this video Bible study of a literary masterpiece that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked! Registration is $25. Childcare provided at an additional cost. To register, visit at wateroflifecc.org/women. Contact pew@wateroflifecc.org for more information.
