One Month to Live
Beginning in Lent
Thirty Days to a no-regrets Life
What if you only had one month to live? What changes would you make in your life? Kerry and Chris Shook's New York Times best-seller, One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life encourages readers to face their own mortality and live life to the absolute fullest.
On Sunday, February 21, we’ll begin a church-wide look at the Biblical themes of this bestseller and the implications they have for our lives.
Each of the 30 chapters—one for every day in a life-changing month—offers fresh strategies for overcoming habits that mire Christians in mediocrity. These strategies come to life through uplifting make-it-count moments, inspiring quotations, colorful true stories and questions for reflection. Readers examine how they can live passionately, love completely, learn humbly, and leave boldly to create a legacy that endures for generations after they're gone. (from the OMTL website)
Our hope is that each adult and every youth will take part in this potential life-changing, church renewing program by reading this book and taking part in a group study.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at FUMC, and several study group opportunities will be made available. Adult and Youth Sunday school classes are also encouraged to consider this as their study for Lent.
Our hope is that everyone in our congregation would take the 30-day challenge. One dimension of the challenge is to take part in a small discussion group during the 30-day reading of the book. This will be a time to share insights and personal experiences.
To make it possible for all to take part in a group, we would like to have multiple groups meetings throughout the week.
If you would be willing to lead a group in your home, please sign up by writing “group leader” on the attendance pad next to your name. All materials and training will be provided.
