"Do Not Be Afraid:
Defeating Fear with Hope, Peace, Love and a Wholehearted Life"
During our time together we will be journeying with Dr. Brene Brown, a social worker, researcher and best selling author whose focus is on vulnerability and how we let fear in many forms affect our lives. This is not a bible study although we will use scripture to ground us. Our time will be spent in prayer as well as watching and reflecting on videos presented by Dr. Brown. These meetings will take place ONLINE over Zoom. This is different from the book study we are doing. Sessions begin December 1 thru December 22nd on Thursdays from noon to 1pm.
REGISTER online here. Once you have registered, a zoom link will be emailed to you in the confirmation.
