BREAKOUT WORKSHOP I
INTENTIONAL LIVING ___________________ Karen Rosa
In this workshop, we will explore the intent of our hearts as women, wives, mothers, daughters and professionals. Are we living intentionally to please our God because we love Him? Are we allowing Him to enable us to love others? Join us as we examine these issues and draw closer to him in doing so.
WAITING ON THE LORD __________________ Beth Cox
In today’s fast-paced world, we need to slow down and take time to wait expectantly on the Lord. In this workshop, we will look at some practical ways that we can do this and begin to learn how to put the ideas into practice.
LIVING A LIFE OF MINISTRY _____________ Elayne Saucier
This study will help you understand various women in the Bible who lived lives of ministry. Whether single, married, with children, without children, young or old, you are equipped to minister to other people! Come and explore this topic as we share ways to engage our culture and others for Christ.
MOVING FORWARD __________________ Krystee Edwards
Forgiveness is often difficult to receive and to give. This workshop will focus on how much we have been forgiven,and how important accepting our past sins as forgiven is to moving forward in Christ. Understanding this truth and walking in it is extremely challenging, but will strengthen our faith in a mighty way.
BREAKOUT WORKSHOP II
HONORING GOD’S TEMPLE ________________ Jenny Hord
What does being healthy look like in the life of a busy Christian? How can we honor God with what we put into our bodies? This workshop will provide food for thought on the implications this might have on a believer’s nutrition and lifestyle.

FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL THINGS ________ Danielle Counts
In this session, you will be given many practical ways to stretch your dollar. We will look at what God says about our money,and how free we can feel to spend money after a few steps are put into place. Join us as we learn to control our money so that it doesn’t control us.
SCRAP A PRAYER _________________ Tiffany Clark
