You are encouraged to experience a new small group opportunity during which we will get to know one another better (and ourselves, too) by considering foundational questions about our identity, even the identity of God. “Who Are We? A Journey From Head to Heart” is a small group experience developed by the Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Father’s Day Reflections
One sadness I hold about my Dad passing before this season of my ministry is that you haven’t been privileged to meet or know him. I realize I am biased, but others would bear witness, too … Lynn Leatherwood is one amazing man. Though imperfect in many ways, Daddy was faithful to God’s design and desire for him in so many more. As a tribute not just to my Daddy, but to all who have fathered us, nurtured us, companioned, and schooled us, I want to offer my gratitude for just a few of the gifts they have given us in their living.

The 21/90 rule (first named by Dr. Maxwell Maltz in 1960) asserts that practicing a personal goal for 21 days straight followed by consistency over another 90 days results in a lifestyle change. 120 DAYS!! That’s where many of us are. 120 days of reading God’s Word. And, more than that … reading God’s Word together and chronologically toward understanding God’s Story, OUR story.
