Renewing our minds!
This week, we hope to begin with a focus on how to renew our minds in the Scriptures.

You may think you don't have anything to share, but you do! How has the Lord encouraged you in his word? That is what you can share. Don't worry about being profound. And everyone doesn't have to share during the same meeting.

forgiveness
worry, fear

I didn't put depression, because its kind of a outworking of the things above, but it is a real struggle too, and it will certainly come up.worry, fear
