Welcome to The Third Option class!
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”
– Philippians 2:1-2
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…”
– Hebrews 10:24-25
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has on one to help him up!”
– Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
– Philippians 2:3-4
Greetings!
Next session (Jan 12) we will take a look at the Homework assignments handed out last week, and then will formally dive into The Third Option study with Topic #1: Building A Climate of Respect, which includes running through the Couples Bill of Rights.
We will also have the Topic Schedule for the study, a copy of the Couples Bill of Rights, a Notes Outline for “Respect” – – – – And, Of course, a Worksheet (with “Homework”) handout to give you something to do until the next class!
………………..
Recommended Class Resources: Even though we will pass out Note and Worksheet pages for each Topic, we strongly encourage each of you to have something along the lines of a “Pocket Folder” to keep the handouts in – note that we will pass out 4 sheets tonight alone (!), and many of these will be referred to in future study sessions. And, of course, bring a Pen with you each week….
“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.”
– 1 Peter 3:8-10
We trust you have had a wonderful week, and look forward to seeing everyone at 7 pm Monday evening!
Go with God –
