Tintern Discernment Challenge - On Sunday Apr 23, during adult class we read from Acts 8:26-35 and discussed the practice of listening to God. Our challenge for the next few weeks is considering the questions:

What are we hearing from God?
What events or words are catching our "spiritual" attention?
Where might we see God at work in our world?
Where might we see God at work in our local community?

We encourage you to consider these questions over the next few weeks. We'll have a chance in May to talk about this together.
