 6/14 Samson (Chapter 1: The Shift)
 6/21 David (2: The Summoned Self)
 6/28 Naaman (3:Self-Conquest)
 7/5
Moses (4: Struggle)
 7/12 BREAK: Hymn Sing
 7/19 Daniel (5: Self-Mastery)
 7/26 Esther (6: Dignity)
 8/2
Ruth (7: Love)
 8/9
Peter (8: Ordered Love)
 8/16 Paul (9: Self-examination)
 8/23 Jesus (10: The Big Me)
We hope you will join us for what promises to be an interesting and character-building experience!

Holy, triune God, we confess that we have not lived for your glory. You sent
