Women’s Ministry Fall Kick Off
Sunday, September 8, 6:30–8:00pm
Join us for coffee and a sweet treat as we open this new year of ministry in prayer and worship. We would love every woman at FAC to come, whether you are new or have been part of Women’s Ministry for years!
Come hear about some of the things God has been doing in this interim period (what is staying the same and some changes that are being made) as well as meet leaders, learn about our ministries, and see what our OUT focus will be this fall.
We hope you will be enriched by our time together!
Emotionally Healthy Relationships
Sundays starting September 15, 11:00am–1:00pm
Emotionally Healthy Relationships (EHR) is an 8-week course taught by Paul and Sharon Clements that’s designed to equip you with practical tools to develop mature, loving relationships with others. Jesus summed up the law and the prophets by calling us to do two things: love God and love people. EHR helps us grow more like Christ in the second great commandment.
The course resources include a workbook, a 40-day devotional guide, and videos developed by Pete and Geri Scazerro of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship. Each session focuses on biblical principles for healthy building relationships, while encouraging deeper growth in your relationship with Jesus by incorporating stillness, silence, and Scripture as daily life rhythms. We hope you’ll join us!
This class costs $40 which covers weekly lunch and class materials. Please note that childcare is not provided.
