“Resolving Everyday Conflict”
We all have conflict. It’s usually not the big blow up—it’s more like the tense conversation around the breakfast table or the difficulties with an angry neighbor, an overbearing boss or a moody teenager. This is an 8 week DVD study that unpacks the amazing things the Bible has to say about conflict and relationships. You will find the powerful and practical answers you are looking for to forever change how conflict looks in your life.
Facilitator: Dean Sutton, leader of Christ UM Peacemakers in East Moline.
Tuesday evenings at 6:30 for 8 weeks beginning Sept. 22, 2015. Advance registration is requested by 9/15/2015. Babysitting available for children 5 and under upon request.
