The Truth Project Who am I? Why am I here on this earth? Who is God? What is true? What is truth?
Multitudes of distractions in our daily lives can keep us from focusing on and thinking deeply about questions like these and life’s profound topics such as God’s desire for a relationship with us, God’s intentions for law, government, media, economics, labor, science as well as other aspects of a Christian worldview. More details will follow next week but starting the end of January, Bob and Ellen Conway are offering to facilitate a 12 part in-depth Christian worldview study for the congregation of St. Christopher’s called “The Truth Project”. The study offers the opportunity to spend some time reflecting on these topics and also investigating, comparing and contrasting the many facets of a biblical worldview with other current worldviews. If you are looking for a hallenging, thought provoking experience to enhance your ongoing walk with Christ, please contact Bob or Ellen (rconway736@gmail.com).
