Take a break from your studies and come crash the Naus house for one last hang out before the semester is over.  We’ll have munchies and board games set out.  This is a night to relax and enjoy good friends, laughter, and conversation …

REACH

The first step in reaching our friends with the good news of Jesus is simply to listen.  As we ask good questions, seek to understand, and really empathize with our friends’ deepest felt needs, we’ll have more authentic and natural opportunities to share the hope we’ve found in …

Impossible is Possible

I just finished reading the Book of Lamentations and I am astonished by its contents.  The images it conjures up are almost too terrible and frightening to dwell on.  This book is a poetic response to the conditions of the Israelites after the Babylonians conquered their land and made them …
