Make Me an Instrument of Peace: A Guide to Civil Discourse

Sundays at 9am, July 7 - August 4


How many of us have ever prayed, 'Lord make me an instrument of your peace,' then found ourselves in complex and polarized situations that made peace seem impossible? Our hope for this class is to help us bridge the divides that keep us from moving forward and learn how to have dialogue between polarized people or parties. Learn more about this class at ChurchNext.
