by Maxie D. Dunnam (Author)
Accepting the invitation begins with a few quiet moments each day spent on deepening your relationship with God. From this time of reading and reflection, you will then meet with your Sunday school class or small group and discuss how God is leading you to become more connected with your church family and ultimately how you will work with your congregation to be God's invitation to the world. Each Week the Sunday sermon will reinforce the concepts in the reading book. This enables the individual reading to become part of a community experience. Everyone participating in the study, older youth and adults, will need a copy of this book.
