OUR LIVES WITH A PURPOSE

Rhonda and I have been in Bottineau for 6 months already. It seems like we were busy moving

into the parish home just yesterday . . . except for the snow! The weather is perhaps a bit colder

than in the climate to which we were accustomed, but in reality, not all that much. We are

thankful that the quantity of snowfall is much less that we witnessed when visiting here last

winter. Fortunately, the roads then were good both ways.

Many years ago, I began to realize that I was missing something in life, something that gave it

all “meaning”. Perhaps you have had similar feelings. I would love to have you take part in our

upcoming bible study titled “WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR?” by Rick Warren. While

all of life’s answers are may not be found in this study, I believe it offers great insight into

living our lives with purpose. Here is a sampling of what to expect taken from the book’s

introduction:

THIS IS MORE THAN A BOOK; IT IS A GUIDE TO A 4O-

DAY SPIRITUAL journey that will enable you to discover

the answer to life’s most important question: What on earth

am I here for? By the end of this journey you will know

God’s purpose for your life and will understand the big

picture — how all the pieces of your life fit together. Having

this perspective will reduce your stress, simplify your

decisions, increase your satisfaction, and, most important,

prepare you for eternity.

Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I

Here For?

Each day you will read a short chapter ending with questions to ponder that we will discuss along

with watching a video at each weekly meeting. It took me a whole 5 minutes to read one today!

We plan to begin this 6 week study on February 25th. You will find application forms in our church

bulletins or you can email me at kenmund@gmail.com to sign up until February 11th. I will order

the printed books – your cost will be $12.00, or if you wish to purchase one yourself for a Kindle

reader, amazon.com offers it for $9.99 - be sure to purchase the 2012 version. Please join us for

this adventure! God bless you, Pastor Ken

I thank the Presbyterian Women and the United Parish church for all the cards, Christmas gifts and the beautiful prayer quilt. I miss you all but health problems, hold me back from getting out like I want to.

When I use the quilt I feel all your love and prayers through it. Again thank you all so very much.
