Grace for the Good Girl - Wednesdays, 6:00-7:15 pm - begins January 11
Many of us believe that we are saved by grace--but for too many, that's the last time grace defines our life. Instead of clinging to grace, we strive for good and believe that the Christian life means hard work and a sweet disposition. As good girls, we focus on the things we can handle, our disciplined lives, and our unshakable good moods. When we fail to measure up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our good girl masks, determined to keep our weakness a secret. In this study we invite women to let go of the try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive from Him rather than constantly try to achieve for Him.
