The Art of Marriage: Hesed
January 28, 2024
We began a new study a new study this week and since this winter season family is sick a lot so we are using a resource that DOCC:Chelsea pays to allow us to use. Its called Right Now Media and not only are you able to watch videos in class and discuss but if you are not able to attend you can watch at home and have some idea of whats going on when you get back!
I would also like to see how this works for a brief Ladies Bible Study. Everyone can sit at home with their own cup of coffee and watch and discuss the lesson. Thus the poll above about when would work for you.
How to get a Right Now Media account or update your password if you are not sure if you have one.

Additional Resources from Precept Austin about Hesed
In the past year our community has walked through losing both kids and adults to suicide. Parents and families want to be able to help those they love process these difficult and sensitive events. Even more they want to maintain regular dialogue to keep up with their loved ones’ health and help plant them deeply in their Gospel-shaped identity. We want our families to be firmly rooted in hope and strength through Jesus Christ so they can endure hurt and anxiety.
Join us February 10th from 9 am-noon at the Chelsea Campus as we are led by local licensed counselors who will prepare us for authentic conversations with our families that can equip them to respond to hopelessness, loneliness, and all sorts of pain with God’s love.
Tickets are $25 per family, and limited childcare is available for an additional $10 per family. Click here to sign
