Grandparenting Matters
Grandparents play a unique and profoundly influential role in the lives of their grandchildren, but often grandparents themselves don’t understand their enormous potential to influence generations!

Bible Study Methods
In this one-day seminar, we will be learning and practicing an Inductive Bible Study Method of reading the Bible for yourself. No more need to feel distant from Scripture, like it’s too mysterious to understand, or like you need other experts to tell you what the Bible says and means. You can read and understand it for yourself! The course will include a notebook, teaching, discussion time, and practice time.
Saturday, November 21
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
Emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable.
The Problem: Many Christians use spiritual activities to hide from their true feelings, avoid conflict, and ignore personal pain.
The Solution: Combining emotional self-awareness with contemplative Christian spiritual practices (like slowing down and silence) transforms a superficial faith into a deep relationship with Jesus.
Beginning in January 2027. Registration to come.
