What We Cannot Do For Ourselves

Whether it’s alcohol and drugs – or work, sex, exercise and attention – we all “worship idols.” What we expect to give us strength, leaves us feeling diminished...maybe even weak and defeated. All are invited to a reading and discussion group that will explore the relationship of human limitation to divine grace. Meetings are seven consecutive weeks starting Monday, 1/21/08 at 7pm. Contact: Kevin Erickson at 612-872-8791.
