Dessert & DiscipleShift tonight

This summer, Pastor Brad has been leading those who are interested through the book, DiscipleShift by Jim Putman.  Every Wednesday night, the congregation enjoys ice cream and discussion together.  I will be attending for the first time tonight.  I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts as they reflect on this book. 

Here are a few quotes from the Chapters 5-7:

A disciple maker makes disciples. Every Christian has that job.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of getting into the Word of God for discipleship.
