Do No Harm


The first step in learning to live into this rule is awareness of what it means to do harm.

Where is harm being done in your household or circle of friends, your family, your church, your community, your city, state, nation world?

More specifically:
  •  Who is being harmed?
  • What harm is being done?
  • Who is doing it or causing it? (The “who” may be one or more people, groups, corporations, institutions, states, or nations.)
  • Why is it happening?
  • How is harm being done?

 (these questions are from Jeanne Finley's study guide)

If you’re following the study on your own reflect on these questions and maybe post a comment on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/epworthkalispell

Sunday’s worship will center around the difference between THOU SHALT NOT and ‘do no harm.’ Are we just following rules and restrictions or are we intentionally following the Way of Jesus?

As we dig deeper we examine the unintentional harm we do and the harm we don’t do directly but are complicit in. It is a fascinating journey. It is the way of Discipleship.
