THIS SERIES will help us at HIS LIFE know the
POWER OF CONNECTING WITH GOD'S PEOPLE: THE CHURCH
"It used to be that Sundays were set aside for church, rest and families.
But, for most people, Sundays have become just another busy day of the week with no time left for church or quality time with family. At the same time, more and more people are wondering why life isn’t working so well for them. Just as God rested on the seventh day after creation, He wired us to also need rest, relational connection and spiritual renewal once a week. Living Sundays the way God meant for them to be will lead to benefits that cascade into just about every area of life. Through the 5-week I Love Sundays campaign, your members and visitors will discover how their relationships, work, finances, and health can all be transformed by the decision to make Sunday the best day of their week!" -- from I LOVE SUNDAYS production
