Listening to God discussed at Lifetree Café

Are we really listening to God? Join us for the discussion at Lifetree Café on Monday, March 14, at 2 p.m.

Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all the time than to just be in silence? We’re constantly surrounded with “voices” that are influencing us on how to think, feel, and behave. Movies, music, TV, internet, cellphones, and a never-ending barrage of advertising. There’s always something going on. Always noise in our lives. But maybe there’s a connection between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God. If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it’s not because God’s not talking to us, but simply because we aren’t really listening. The name of the upcoming Lifetree Cafe program is “Noise.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapeño’s Mexican Restaurant, 314 N. Second Ave., Sandpoint.
