Foundations and Purpose

Join Us in Study

Throughout Lent, we will be reading through “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren and engage in shared reflection in Adult Forum. This text is a useful tool for assessing the foundations of our faith; we may encounter messages that encourage and support our faith, or problematic implications that we reject. In both cases, we are challenged to reflect on the ‘why’ and therefore build up! Our aim is to interrogate, patch up, build, and (re)build the foundation of our faith. We’ll read with faith-filled, critical discernment, assessing the relevance, shortcomings, and merits of the text as we seek to build up ourselves and our community—in love.
