PASTOR RAY - FACILITATOR

In life and in death, Jesus’ words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and increased pain required for Jesus to speak as he hung on the cross, Jesus spoke seven “final words”—statements that have much to teach us about Jesus, his Father, and ourselves:

Father Forgive Them; Behold Your Son…Behold Your Mother; My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?; Today You Will Be with Me in Paradise; I Thirst; It Is Finished; Into Your Hands I Commit  My Spirit

TIME: 9:00AM

ROOM: C203

MARTHA HELMS – FACILITATOR

This study provides a personal study experience five days a week plus viewer guides for the 8 video sessions of this in-depth women's Bible study. James, Jesus' own brother, started out as a skeptic. See how one glimpse of the resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple. Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos. In other ways, James more closely resembles the Book of Proverbs than any other New Testament book. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer.

beth laverty - facilitator

This is a fresh challenge to women who have lived hesitant, cautious lives but long to break free and dance! It's a reminder that God wants us to become strong, decisive, wise, creative, passionate, and courageous - all the things we've dreamed of becoming. Using both Scripture and story, Angela Thomas addresses the attributes of "becoming" and the freedom we have in Christ to keep developing the characteristics that reflect our God-given longings.
