FRIDAY EVENING – BE A WARRIOR 

Ephesians 6: 10 – 12 - 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

We serve a mighty and powerful God, and as His daughters, we must be bold warriors for His cause.  This session encourages even the timid ones to boldly stand for the Lord.

​

SABBATH MORNING – TELL YOUR STORY

Ephesians 6: 13 – 17 - 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Others will be won to Christ by the strength of our personal testimony.  This session shows how to tell our stories without telling our business.  In other words, there is a way to proclaim what God has done for us without the worry of embarrassment or revealing details better left unsaid.

​

SUNDAY MORNING – USE YOUR VOICE 

Ephesians 6: 18 – 20 - 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Worriers scream.  Warriors yell.  There is a difference.  And once we know the difference, it will change the way we prepare for Christ’s soon return.

Prepare Your Prayer Closet

Delaina Cischke

Why are we asked to pray? How are we to pray? Who are we to pray for? What can we gain from prayer? No matter how you pray, spend time with Jesus.  Let Him know you trust Him enough to talk to Him and believe He is always listening and answering. As we go through our prayer seminar, we will hopefully answer these questions and many more. Learn some new prayers using scripture and ways to pray over your family and friends. Learn how God has answered prayers in big and small ways and see how our lives can grow. We will learn how to prepare our prayer closets and face this world alongside God.

​

Weekend 3

Friday & Sabbath: Closing the back door

Evangelism is more than just numbers, it’s about people being introduced to Jesus. The actual evangelistic series is not the most important part. What happens before and after an evangelistic series is just as important if not more important than the series itself. In this seminar, learn how not only to keep new members in the church but have them become an active part of your church family. 

​

Sunday: From Wanting to Winning

Have you struggled to lose weight? Have you lost the same 40lbs every other year? Reality is hard. With responsibilities and demands on your time, life’s curveballs and challenges, and the inevitable emotional eating, let’s face it, it is hard to be “good” all the time when it comes to healthy lifestyles. Come hear Cindy share her very personal, very raw and real testimony on her struggles with addictions and abuse that has led to emotional eating. How she still struggles today but tries her best to depend on God to sustain her through the challenges and life's roller coasters.

Joy Amid Crisis

Laurie Snyman

This class will explore why there is suffering in this world. Using the analogy of a canoe trip down the Au Sable River, we will talk about how we encounter obstacles, our attitudes, our futile attempts to take care of ourselves, and how we can meet them with strength, courage, and resilience. Learning from Job, we will show how our faithfulness will be rewarded one day when we put our trust in God and His Providence.

Hospitality and Healthy Living Through International Cooking

JoAn 
Hodet

Have you ever been intimidated by hosting a meal in your home, church or community? Have you had an interest in cooking international food but do not know how? In this session, you will learn to make Filipino dishes and learn the importance of hospitality in your own home and ministry. Opening your home for a meal and fellowship is like opening your hearts to others. We are all admonished to serve others, to feed the hungry and to honor God through the gifts and talents he has given us. Food and hospitality help us connect with people and minister to them. The Bible says, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”(Hebrews 13:16)  We will also learn some interesting facts about nutrition and culture in general.
