Starting in February, we are launching a 6-week series on Practicing Forgiveness. The series includes forgiveness-themed sermons, Sunday school lessons, and the option of joining a small group that will meet once a week for 6 weeks. Workbooks by John Odhner & Sasha Silverman will be available for purchase through the Pittsburgh New Church, or you can order your own materials online: http://journey.newchurch.org/programs/practicing-forgiveness/. All are welcome to participate--invite your friends!
