A Serious Commitment.

You will have homework and be expected to actively participate during discussions. We are looking for a group to make a commitment to each other to work together to become more dedicated and active Christians than they have been in the past. We are not looking for perfect people, we want broken people, because God wants them to know He wants them as well.

This class needs participation. Not a passive class. Even if you are not in a great place right now, walk with us. Show up. Open up. Buy-in and help us become stronger as a whole. “Strength of the wolf is the pack and the strength of the pack is the wolf.”
Ecclesiastes 10 & 12:

10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
At the end of our second class, a hand-written document was presented called the "Declaration of Dependence." Those comfortable and committed were asked to sign it, those not, were asked to wait. It can be found behind the "WARNING" sign at Family Factory. The document reads as follows:
“We, the “living the L.I.F.E.” class at SV, having been made Sons and Daughters of God the Father, through Jesus the Son, do hereby make public Declaration our complete and utter Dependence on His grace, His mercy and His love and wish, from this day forward, to become better stewards of the time, money and resources we've been given. We want to be more intentional about the way we show our faith by the life we live and by the way we love Him and love our neighbors. We will look for Him to speak to us through this group as we together strive to pray more, study more and connect more with those to which He has surrounded us. As we have signed our names and placed beside a date, we want to pledge and re-dedicate our lives to His service as humble and obedient servants. Amen.”
