Beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, at the First Christian Church of Bonner Springs, 148 N. Nettleton in Bonner Springs, the men’s group will begin a study of “Halftime: Moving from Success to Significance.” Author Bob Buford believes the second half of life can be better than the first — much better. But first, people need time to figure out what they want to do with the rest of their lives. In “Halftime,” Buford focuses on this time of transition—the time when, as he says, a person moves beyond the first half of the game of life. It’s halftime, a time of revitalization and for catching a new vision for living the second half, the half where life can be lived at its most rewarding. As Buford explains, “My passion is to multiply all that God has given me, and in the process, give it back.” Area men of all ages are invited to attend. For more information call 913-441-3876 or go to www.firstccks.org.
