FUEL FOR THE SOUL... silence & solitude


Are you like me and can't sleep without a fan going? Even during the winter (well, most of the winter) I've got to have the noise in the background to help me sleep. How about the radio playing in the background... or the TV going even though you're not watching it?
Do you realize that silence and solitude are important to the soul? They are... in fact these are two of the most overlooked of spiritual disciplines.
This coming Sunday we will begin a new sermon series called Fuel For The Soul. Over the next 4 weeks we will discover what God's Word has to say about how practicing spiritual disciplines affects our lives. The first of these 4 weeks will be on "silence & solitude." We are going to look at reasons that make it difficult to practice silence & solitude... and then discover areas in which we can learn to 'still and quiet' our souls.
I hope to see you at worship on Sunday!
