May 2008 UPDATE
Sunday Afternoon discussions: We have 2 sessions in May - May 4th

discussion with dining out at a local restaurant or sharing meal at a
member’s home. In June thru August we continue with just a fellowship
gathering without discussions. We will also add music, so bring your
instruments or best singing voice.

May 4 - Give Up the Blame Game – DVD -
Dr. Henry Cloud
When a problem arises in your relationship, are you quick to blame,
or do you carefully consider
how you may be contributing to the problem? If you’re able to
stop yourself blaming, you’ll avoid
getting caught up in the blame game. You may have to make a
conscious effort to develop this
mindset, since asking "What’s my part?" doesn’t come
naturally, but it is vital to your relationship.
The long-term benefits will far outweigh any temporary
advantage you may gain by blaming others.
Give up the blame game—it’s critical if you want to create
the right environment for an
extraordinary relationship to flourish. Come and learn how to
own your own stuff—it will
absolutely take a good relationship to the next level! Learn
how to stop blaming and own your
own stuff to create the right environment for an
extraordinary relationship to flourish.
May 18 - Step Into My World – DVD -
Dr. John Townsend
Isn’t it a gift when someone makes a real effort to
understand our experience, trying to see life
through our eyes? It suddenly feels as if he or she has
stepped right into our world! We feel
understood. We feel connected to the person. It is a very
positive experience. This gift is
something we can give, as well as receive. How willing are
you to try to see other people’s
experiences through their eyes? Come and learn how to step
into another person’s world without
losing your sense of self. Doing this will work wonders in
all your important relationships. Discover
how to step into another person's world without losing your
sense of self.
While our discussion groups are good learning sessions they are also
meant as a safe way to get to know our new friends and make lasting
friendships. Please join us and let us get to know you.
