Healthy Relationships: Are all of your relationships healthy? We live our lives in relationship to one another. Some are amazing gifts and some are amazingly hard. Some relationships are toxic and take all of our energy. A favorite Parents in Conversation class and retreat leader, Dr. Lee Baucom, PhD., will be the Sunday Forum’s featured guest presenter three Sundays in January (8, 15 and 29). Give yourself the present of living 2012 in good relationships by attending these classes and learning how to care better for yourself and for others.

May 2012 be a year where you say “no” to that which does not feed your soul or the souls of your family and “yes” to the opportunities that do. May you listen to that inner voice that lets you know it is time to take that big leap or small step into something new. May you make time for worship and learning at St. Matthew’s. May you know peace in your heart. May you live in joy. And may you realize how richly you are loved by God.
