This coming Sunday we are starting a new message series at EverGreen. It's from the book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes, a book of wisdom literature, takes a hard look at the question, "Does life really have meaning?" The "teacher" in the book examines all of life and comes to the conclusion that life is meaningless. The narrator, who contrasts the teacher in the book, concludes that life is alive with meaning.
What makes for the difference between the teacher and the narrator? It's all about from where you start.
The message series will look at two different starting points for looking at life and how we can grab the starting point of the narrator and so find meaning in what can feel like a swirl of meaninglessness.
If you have folks in your life who wonder how life can possibly have meaning this might be the perfect time to invite them in for both the series and for good conversation with you afterwards.
Since the school year is starting and we're dealing with a teacher we've chosen the title "Are you smarter than a fifth grader". If you are part of the EverGreen community look for a school look and put your "thinking caps" on for some fifth grade Q&A at the beginning of each of the services.

I was referring a friend to this study from years ago. I have a 7 year old copy of the sermon notes and questions, but is there any chance you have a link to, or can email, the original study? Thanks!
