The book Uprising is a helpful resource for us as we seek to BECOME who God created us to be.

We will traverse the terrain of character development all this Fall. Beginning Sunday, September 18th the WCC Fall series BECOME focuses on six key themes:
9/18 » GRATITUDE {then read Uprising chapter 6, Endless Wellsprings}
9/25 » HUMILITY {follow by reading ch. 3, Rising Downward}
10/2 » INTEGRITY {ch. 4, Turned Inside Out}
10/9 » global mission focus [we welcome Charles Buregeya of Africa New Life]
10/16 » WHOLENESS {ch. 7, Wholeness from a Black Hole}
10/23 » GENEROSITY {ch. 8, Incurable Romantics}
10/30 » COURAGE {ch. 5, Brave Hearts}
Why are we reading out of order? Because we can. Actually, the author of Uprising suggests reading the chapters out of order, sort of like how cross-training strengthens our body when we jump from one muscle group to another. The chapters can stand alone and yet their content overlaps. While it seems a bit counter-intuitive, we think you’ll find the journey worth taking.
