At least the end of our sermon series on Endings and New Beginnings is coming Oct. 26th. It has been one of the most rich series we have done in a long time. In this concluding message I will explore some of the factors that keep us from ending things that we know need to stop. It is common to maintain habits, jobs, relationships, and affiliations long past their usefulness and value. We sometimes do so at the expense of our wellbeing, at the expense of the wellbeing of the people around us and the organizations we support. Why is it so hard sometimes to end the things that hurt us? See you in church, CAN’T MAKE THE SERVICE?
