November 3     Session One of Living Your Strengths     Led by Mark and Susie G.

This class is in two parts — Nov. 3 and Nov 24. We will be exploring the book Living Your Strengths: Discover Your God-Given Talents and Inspire Your Community.

In the first session, we will explore the basic questions and personality types underneath our strength. In session two (Nov. 24), we will come back having taken our own inventory and a better understanding of our strengths. We will talk in small groups about how we might apply this self-knowledge to our lives at church and in other everyday volunteer or work opportunities.

You can follow this link to the book. Also, here is a description of the book:  While millions of people in the U.S. are actively involved in some sort of religious organization, many people feel disengaged from their faith communities. More than half report that they really don’t get the opportunity in their congregation to do what they do best. The problem is this: too many people’s talents are going unappreciated. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Living Your Strengths shows readers how to use their innate gifts to enrich their faith communities. The book shows people how to identify and affirm their talents, and how to use them for growth and service. Most importantly, Living Your Strengths helps people discover their true callings.
