Simple Life - Small Group Study
"Stressed out is not how God intends for us to live." But as we move from one thing to the next in our day - stressed is often how we feel.  The Simple Life looks to Jesus as the standard for living.  Over the next six weeks you will receive an action plan for four areas (time, relationships, money and God) in your life.  Don't you want to discover a life that is more spiritual and less harried?  This new study began starting on October 10th  through December 19th in the Parsonage Front Room, and Donna Cornelius will be the facilitiator. Please call the church office and ask them to contact Donna Cornelius for more information.

Women's Mentoring Ministry

The Women's Mentoring Ministry has been preparing for this new season of sharing and caring.  Women of all ages are invited to be blessed with a Godly woman who will mentor you in your faith walk for a season of about six months.

On Tuesday, January 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the church, we will be holding an informational meeting for Women's Mentoring.  Join us for light refreshments, fellowship with other women and the opportunity to find out how women's mentoring can benefit you!

Starting in February and continuing through July of 2012, each women will share her faith walk with another women. They'll meet twice a month in person, in addition to other communication through their journey together.  This will be a made-to-order time commitment to accommodate both women's schedules.

We invite you to grow in your faith or share a concern with the caring mentor the Lord has prepared for you.  Here are a few of the multitude of issues that could spur you to request a mentor in this upcoming season of your faith walk:

"There's no time!"
"My life is overwhelming!"
"I am at a peaceful time in my life. What does the Lord have in mind for me?"
"My priorities need help."
"I just want to talk to someone I can trust!"
"Is God listening?"
"Why do I feel this way?"
"God is awesome!  How can I thank Him?"

Join us for fun, faith and fellowship.  Look for sign-ups in the pew sheet or call the church office and ask to contact Bobbi Janson or email her at jjj517@rcn.com for more information.
