1 Wednesday Nights in the Winter Inner-Views: Telling and Hearing Our Stories (Part II) January 4 February 22, 2017 If you haven t joined us on Wednesday nights, you have missed a time of laughing, loving, and expectant listening. Our hearts have been filled with the stories and journeys of our Royal Lane friends as we have lived out our deep commitment to intergenerational friendships through inner-views. The Wednesday night programming for the winter (January 4 February 22) will include more inner-views in a casual setup (like a living room or Inside the Actors Studio format) in Family Hall in order for Pastor Mike to interview some more of our church members and ask them questions about their lives and faith. Some of the fascinating questions have included: How did you find Royal Lane? What is the main thing that keeps you busy? What is your favorite book? How can we pray for you? What is the craziest thing you have ever done? What is your biggest pet peeve? What is your favorite color? What was your favorite childhood toy? Join us on Wednesday nights for supper at 5:30pm and the program at 6:15pm to laugh with each other, learn about each other, and grow in our connection to fellow Royal Laners and to God.
