 Sunday Morning Bible Study for Adults 9:00 - 9:55 AM THIS GROUP IS MEETING ONLINE USING ZOOM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE GROUP, PLEASE CONTACT OUR CHURCH OFFICE AT LakeTahoeCPC@gmail.com  The Art of Forgiving by Lewis Smedes Sunday Morning Online Discussion May 10 - June 7 9:00 - 9:55 * The first person to benefit from forgiveness is the person who does it. * We do our forgiving alone inside our hearts and minds; what happens to the person we forgive depends upon them. * Forgiving is a journey: the deeper the wound, the longer the journey. * Forgiving does not require us to reunite with the person who broke our trust. * We do not forgive because we are supposed to; we forgive when we are ready to be healed. * Waiting for someone to repent before we forgive them, is to surrender our future to the person who wronged us. If any of these statements challenge or intrigue you, please join us in the 4-week titled "The Art of Forgiving" based on the book with the same name by Lewis Smedes.
