The question is almost ridiculous to ask, because if you have been on this earth for some length of time you have felt the sting of betrayal in some way. Your best long-time childhood friend who stole your first love, your confidant who blabbed your deepest dearest (and possibly darkest) secret, then there is that co-worker who stole your ideas or clients, or maybe you have even felt deep betrayal through a cheating spouse, a wayward child, or the deep sting that always accompanies family betrayal.
Whatever the severity and whenever the occurrence we have all been thrown, shoved, tripped, or tricked into the “pit.” The pit is a place where it seems we can’t possibly go any lower, a place we would not go of our own initiative. The pit is dark, hopeless, damp, smelly, and maybe even filled with adders, vipers and other dangerous elements.
What do you do when you find yourself in a pit? A pit of any depth can cause serious damage!
New Church (currently meeting at the old McLean Elementary School on Sundays at 9:30a.m) is offering a 6 week study, beginning October 5, looking at how to deal with Betrayal and the damage it causes.
New Church is a non-denominational group of authentic imperfect people who are meeting together to encourage one another through a relaxed atmosphere which includes a variety of worship styles. When we say come as you are...we mean it! (Appropriate clothing to be in public of course.) Nursery is provided every week and Children’s Church is provided for ages 5 to10 on alternating weeks.
