Complaint Free Journey

Pick-up your purple braclet at church and join your Church Council leadership team on this complaint free journey during the season of Lent!
 
Join in the conversation on
 
How do I use the purple bracelet to become a Complaint Free person?
Scientists believe it takes 21 days to form a new habit and complaining is habitual for most of us. As Mark Twain said, “we must coax our old behavior down the stairs.” The purple bracelet is a powerful tool to remind you of how well you are creating your life with positive intention. Here are the suggested rules:
  1. Begin to wear the bracelet, on either wrist
  2. When you catch yourself complaining, gossiping or criticizing (it’s ok, everyone does) move the bracelet to the other arm and begin again.
  3. If you hear someone else who is wearing a bracelet complain, you may point out their need to switch the bracelet to the other arm; BUT if you’re going to do this, you must move your bracelet first!
  4. Stay with it. It may take many months but when you reach 21 days you will find that your entire life is happier, more loving and more enjoyable.
How do I know if I’m complaining?
To "Complain" is defined as "to express pain, grief, or discontent." Surely, it makes sense to express pain, grief or discontent occasionally but most people do so constantly. In so doing, they are talking and thinking about what they do not want in their life and, thereby, attracting more pain, grief and discontent. Instead, think and talk about what you are grateful for. Talk about what you DO want and not what you DON'T want.
 
If I think a complaint but don’t speak it do I have to move my bracelet?
No, only if you speak a complaint aloud should you move your bracelet to the other arm But you will find that the more you stop articulating your complaints the less complaining thoughts you have. Through this process you will reformat your mental hard drive and become a happier person.

Vibrant Faith

We are changing the focus of "Youth & Family Ministries" to Vibrant Faith.  This identifies the 6-5-4-3 framework that we have talked about in the past and the commitment to the children, youth, and adults as shown at the last annual meeting.
 
Plan on becoming involved in special Vibrant Faith events located on the Connecting Events page (updated regularly), or click here for a copy of the bulletin insert for easy printing!
