Overscheduled. Exhausted. Overwhelmed. - by Kim Metzer

As regular readers of this blog are aware, the staff here at DeWitt Redeemer takes turns writing a weekly entry.  It is our hope that by posting frequently our church family will come to look forward to the weekly entries, and even subscribe by email so that posts aren’t missed.  While we all have a common goal of serving God by using our talents at our local church, we are all very different!  We use the blog entries as another way for the church family to get to know us better and to communicate what God is laying on our hearts to say.  It is also our hope that if a particular blog post touches you, or gives you an aha! moment, that you’ll take a minute and leave a comment.

You’ll be hearing from, and seeing, me a lot in the upcoming weeks as we start to promote the upcoming Church-wide study of Simplify by Bill Hybels. 

 Overscheduled. Exhausted. Overwhelmed.
Sound familiar? Too familiar?

“By eradicating clutter from your inner world, you can experience immediate rewards: greater energy, clearer purpose, richer relationships and more.”

No matter what phase of life you’re in, the book has something for you!  Over-scheduling, Over-spending, Over-allowing toxic people in your life and Over-complicating your life can happen at ANY age!

We’ll be forming new small groups for the purpose of completing this four week study together.  This is a great opportunity to try a group on for size.  If after the study ends you and your group didn’t click, we’ll get you into another one.  If it’s a good fit then we’ll have message based weekly discussion guides available until we start another Church-wide study.  Another option is the website Right Now Media (www.rightnow.org).   Right Now Media is like the Netflix of Bible studies!  Contact me at the email address below to request your FREE subscription.

I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you in the New Year!  Keep reading the blog so you can get to know me and the rest of the Redeemer staff!

Contact me in the church office (517.669.3430 x116 or kim@dewittredeemer.org) for more information!
