The Change Game
Sunday March 16 | Series: Games We Play
Locations & Times
7900 Precinct Line Rd, Colleyville, TX 76034, USA
Sunday 10:00 AM
Theme Idea: A game that requires a loser is a game nobody wins
1. Can I really change another person?
2. Is it right for me to judge?
3. Why is my judging ability corrupted?
“The unspoken assumption is, ‘As I ascend in relationship with God I confess less because I have less to confess.’ True spiritual maturity, though, is the opposite. It’s not an ascension; it’s an archaeological dig as we discover layer after layer of what was in us all along. Spiritual maturity means more confession, not less.” — Tyler Staton
4. How can I see others as Jesus does?
5. How can I move beyond a critical spirit?

Sponsor a book for a grieving mother
Bear Valley’s 70th Village, the Grieving Mamas Facebook group led by Melissa Hatcher, now stands at over 9,000 members -- each one a mother navigating life after losing a child. This month marks the two year anniversary of this group, and to commemorate this milestone, you are invited to sponsor a book for a mother in the group. Melissa’s first book, Wrecked, is her account of the first year of her grief journey following the death of her son Max in December 2020. This is a book written to help grieving mothers know that they are not alone in the darkness, pain, and confusion of grief. If you would like to sponsor a book, sign up at the Welcome Kiosk and Melissa will contact you with more information. Books are $19.
