We spend a significant portion of our lives—often over 50%—at work, and we all desire for that time to be meaningful and purposeful. Yet, many struggle to see how their faith connects to their work, viewing work as “secular” and reserving church, Bible study, and serving as the “sacred” parts of life. But what if all of it could be sacred? How would that change the way you view and approach your work?
In this three-session Equip class, Jonathan Nowlen, Catherine Gates, and Dawn Stanford will guide you in understanding how all our work can be valuable to God.
Through this class, you’ll discover how much your work truly matters to God and gain a fresh perspective on how He desires to be present with you in every aspect of what you do.
Join us Jan 26, Feb 2, and Feb 9 from 11:00am - 12:15pm in the upstairs Youth room at the Boys & Girls Club.
