Serving Workshop: "Heart for the Poor and Needy"
This class explores how God's love for us awakens compassion for those who are hurting. As we recognize that every good gift—life, provision, family, and community—comes from Him, we begin to see our own neediness and His faithful care. In response to His love, we are transformed into people who partner with God to serve the poor, comfort the hurting, and meet practical needs. When we understand that “we love because He first loved us,” God’s heart increasingly becomes our heart.

"From Shame to Saved"
The sinful woman In Luke 7, an unnamed woman approaches Jesus in shame and humility. She knows she is not wanted to this meal yet she seeks Jesus boldly. She approaches Him in her muck and mire but leaves cleansed because of her faith in Him. God wants us to come to Him with our sin knowing He is the one that cleanses us. Maybe you feel there are broken parts of you that He can't fix. He doesn't want us to carry shame but rather to have a shameless audacity in our pursuit of Him.

"Presence Over Pressure"
In Luke 10, Mary and Martha show very different responses to being in the presence of Jesus. In life there a many preparations that need to be made. Our to-do lists are never ending. Even in our service to Him we can miss an intimacy that He is trying to give us. Do you feel pressure to preform or do you feel offering your presence is enough? Learn practical ways to prioritize sitting at Jesus's feet.
Rani Tong and Lindsey Glissman
"From Timid to Transformed"
In Mark 5, we see a woman desperate for real healing. She had gone to great lengths to have her bleeding stopped with no end in sight. When she saw Jesus she thought surely if she only touched Him her suffering would end. Out of fear she falls to His feet trembling but He responds with an offer of a transformed life. The bleeding woman overcoming her fear led her to be freed. Don't let your fear stop you from the healing God is offering you.
Sabrina Plager and Hannah Persing
"Waiting With Wonder"
In Luke 1, Elizabeth experiences long years of waiting and disappointments before God fulfills His promise, yet when he moves, she responds with joy, faith and prophetic insight. This lesson emphasizes that waiting isn't wasted-it can be filled with expectancy and awe at God's timing. However your journey begins - broken, waiting, desperate or devoted - Jesus calls you to follow Him to the very end.
Isabella Kenney and Kathryn Black
"Freed To Follow"
Jesus healed Mary Magdalene who was possessed with seven demons (Luke 8:2). She used her new freedom to devote herself to following her healer. She was one of the women who followed Jesus to the cross and watched His crucifixion. She allowed her freedom to turn into an endless devotion to Him.

"Known Fully, Sent Boldly"
In John 4 we see the Samaritan woman whom Jesus asks for a drink. Jesus crosses all social and cultural boundaries. to have an encounter with this woman. He knows her fully and rather than pushing away in shame she leans into the intimacy of being known completely. Through her testimony many lives are changed because she shared her story boldly. God wants to use your story to change the world. Will you accept the invitation to be sent boldly?
