"You cannot live the Christian life apart from the church," says Chuck Colson. And if the church really IS the body of Christ, how do we as Christians live out that truth in our daily lives?
In a very special Sunday evening seminar based on his forthcoming book, BEING THE BODY, Chuck will issue a pointed challenge to church leaders and church members everywhere to take Jesus' teaching seriously.
Chuck will bring his unique experiences and insights to an examination of the community of faith in today's culture, challenging your leaders and church members to BE the Body of Christ. As we examine with Chuck what it means to be the Body, we will be galvanized to change the way we think--and live--as Christians.
This seminar include a report on the state of the church by special guest, David Neff, editor of Christianity Today. Special music by award-winning recording artist, Twila Paris, will set the stage for Chuck's powerful message.
Invite everyone in your church, and invite other churches in your community. This event is the opportunity for all Christians to come together and grab hold of a new vision of what it means to be the body of Christ.
