What the heck is "T.H.I.N.G."?

T.H.I.N.G. stands for "This Heart Is Now God's".

“I got your back,” God says (Psalm 121). Whether you are new to this God-thing or church-thing, or you’ve been around it for a while, you are invited to gather in the Fellowship Hall for an exciting, new T.H.I.N.G., where we explore what it means for God to have your back, heart, hands, and whole self.
