redeeming fatherhood
Our Redeeming Fatherhood Overnight is designed to create 24 hours of space for dads to think and talk about the high calling of fatherhood. Father hunger marks our just-north-of-Boston culture in many devastating ways. What if Seven Mile Road became a distinctive and redemptive place that was just filled with great dads? This overnight will give us a framework for pursuing that vision together.
SESSIONS
Sunday morning: 90 minutes: Father Hunger and the Fatherhood of God: The sermon on Sunday morning will be an introduction to the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God, setting the tone and frame for the weekend.
Sunday night: 90 minutes: Marks of God’s Fatherhood: In this session we will be exploring the kind of Father the Scriptures reveal God to be and talk about allowing those realities to begin to shape our fatherhood.
Monday morning: 90 minutes: Redeeming Fatherhood: In this session we will be identifying practical and specific ways we can be embracing biblical fatherhood in our church and our homes.
Monday afternoon: 90 minutes: A Personal Vision for Fatherhood: In this session we give people time to personally and prayerfully cast a vision for what fatherhood is going to look like in their lives going forward.
