When does the campaign begin?
The campaign has already started. It is not too late to get involved. Join a small group at a host home to study the Purpose Driven Life.
Rev. Warren is the Senior Pastor at Saddleback Church and author of The Purpose Driven Life.
What is the campaign about?
The
40 Days of Purpose is a churchwide spiritual growth campaign. The
campaign will be held this Fall for
43 days from
September 24, 2005 through November 6, 2005. During this time we have cleared the church calendar of the regular meetings, in order for the entire church membership to study Rev. Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life together.
The book has 40 chapters. One small chapter for each of the 40 days. In order to study together we will be forming a number of small groups to watch a short video segment on the chapters for that week and then discuss it within our group. The groups can be opened up to include friends, family, others not attending our church. 40 Days of Purpose Schedule At a Glance
