OCTOBER 2009
70 x 7: FORGIVING IS NOT FORGETTING
A series of 3 seminars
Forgiving others 70 x 7 is often a stumbling block because we have confused "forgiving" with "forgetting". This course will show that, rather that "forgetting", we need to first acknowledge the hurts and wounds that others have inflicted on us and to knowingly process our negative feelings before we can genuinely forgive them. Also, forgiving is often not humanly possible without going to the Holy Spirit, naming our hurts and wounds, and praying for healing.

Dates: Tuesdays, 6, 13 & 20 October
Time: 7.30pm to 10.00pm
