We are people of the Covenant, the Covenant God made with Abraham
and Sarah, the Covenant to which God has remained faithful no matter how often
we fail. That Covenant is the framework within which we live and forms how we are to respond to each other, especially when we do not agree or are in conflict. Because we are uncomfortable with conflict, we struggle to listen effectively and to “speak the truth in love.” During the first four Sundays of
March, we will learn about models for interpersonal communication and for corporate communication when conversations become difficult. What does covenant
require of us when we are in conflict? How can these communication models support us during difficult conversations? Rev. Dorothy Gannon, Chaplain at Bethesda Hospice Care, will guide us through these discussions. All are welcome to join us from 10:45 - 11:45 am in the Adult Education classroom.
