We invite all to join us tonight as we approach our Inventory, come learn how to work step 4. 

Principle 4: Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.

 “Happy are the pure in heart.” (Matthew 5:8) 

Step 4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. (Lamentations 3:40)

Small Group Focus Question:

What is keeping you from finding a SPONSOR or an accountability partner? Why is it important for you to have a support team?

Do you currently struggle with anger or hate for those that may be different than you?

We invite you to come hear a truly amazing story of FORGIVENESS.

Large group starts at 7 pm and Small groups start at 8 pm.

Luke 6:37-38 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Giving Back Step 12:  Having had a spiritual experience as a result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
