B.L.E.S.S. Intensive

Dr. Gary Kendall (LoveKC) will give 4 talks at East Side about the spiritual growth that happens in us as individuals and in our church when we discover and live God’s purpose everyday. We are called to follow Jesus as a modern day disciple. Let’s lean into what that looks like where we live, learn, work, and play. Let’s answer the question, how do I live my faith with a vibrant witness that other’s respect, and be able to reveal Jesus through my life? Gary will elaborate on the 5 BLESS rhythms.
