​Growing a Heart of Peace​

Do you experience tension or conflict in relationships or conversations that you wish were more peaceful?

Do you wish you yelled at your kids less, or wish you could talk to people who disagree with you about politics or other controversies—without rancor or arguing?

You can have an open, amicable relationship with anyone—even people who are dead wrong!

How?

By bringing a heart of peace to the relationship.

St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church in Acton is hosting a series of small groups to learn about growing a heart of peace.

In the groups we’ll look at how without thinking about it we tend to build a “heart of war,” and how that causes conflict in our lives.

And we’ll explore how we can grow hearts of peace instead.

We’re reading a book titled “The Anatomy of Peace,” but you don’t need to read the book to participate.

These groups will be led by Pastor Steve.

The small groups are three sessions long, offered at several different times: Sundays at 9:15 a.m. (starting Feb. 10), Mondays at 2 p.m., starting Feb. 18), Mondays at 7 p.m. (starting Feb.11) or Wednesdays at 7:45 p.m. (starting March13).

For more information or to sign up or order a copy of the book, go to our website at saint-matthews.org, or call the church at 798-263-2822.

The church is at 435 Central St., Acton, 01720.
