Relationships in Community

Christian relationships are hard. Sometimes they're confusing. Aren't there tons of rules? Are some old-fashioned?

This slide deck doesn't have all the meat of the talk we're doing, so feel free to pull down the notes I put together at http://bit.ly/z1FBhp

If you still want more, hit me if you want to try out church. You'll hear plenty there.
