Course Title: This I Believe
Course Leader: Pastor Scott Searl
Course Dates: Oct 12, 19, 26 (Wednesdays), 6:15pm
Course Description: Of all life's big questions, "What do you believe?" is one of the most important. And what we believe really matters. It affects our relationships with our family, out politics, our behavior and our choices. 
Even for those of us who grew up in the church, the answer may be one of the hardest to put into words. Many people would include things they were taught to believe, or things they think they should believe. In this couse we will help each other explore what we believe deep down and work toward crafting that believe into a short essay. If you are a parent or grandparent, don't miss this opportunity to articulate your belief as a legacy and lesson for the kids in your life. 
Materials Needed: Each participant will receive a journal for reflection. Participants are also encouraged to purchase and read one of the three currently published, "This I Believe" anthologies. Also available on audio CD, a great car-ride listening opportunity!
Course Location: Adult Forum Room
