Join us for a Five-Week Book Study: Henri Nouwen’sThe Return of the Prodigal Son, facilitated by Thack
Are you looking to deepen your spiritual journey and explore the themes of grace, forgiveness, and love? Join us for a transformative five-week book study on Henri Nouwen’s-selling book, The Return of the Prodigal Son. Nouwen’s reflections on Rembrandt’s famous painting and the parable of the Prodigal Son will guide us into a deeper understanding of our own relationship with God and one another.
In this study, we’ll examine the roles of the younger son, the elder brother, and the father, discovering how we are called to embrace God’s unconditional love and extend it to others. Through group discussions, prayer, and personal reflection, this study promises to be a meaningful time of growth and connection.
When: October 27-November 3, November 17-December 1, 2024, at 9:10 a.m. Where: Conference Room A, Howard Wilson Life Center
Whether you’re familiar with Nouwen’s work or new to his writings, this book study offers an invitation to experience God’s healing grace in a fresh and personal way. Sign up today by calling Terri in the church office at (251) 626-2421 and let’s journey together toward spiritual renewal. The cost of Nouwen’s book is $10.00 and we are ordering the books on Monday, October 21, 2024. Thack
