"Restoring Broken Pieces"
WORKSHOPS
WORKSHOPS
"A Way Of Escape"
Inclusion At The CROSS
"Making It On Broken Pieces"
Domestic abuse is just as prevalent in the faith community as it is in its secular counterpart.  All abuse, whether physical, verbal, emotional, sexual or financial, is not a part of God's plan for us.  He has called us to live in peace.  Often, abusees are manipulated into staying in their traumatizing relationships.  There is a way of escape that requires strategic ​planning for the safety of all involved.  The plan first starts with the belief system of the abused - married or not. 
"Sisters In Arms"
The faith community has been called to a different level of  accountability when ministering to the hearing impaired, mentally ill and physically challenged.  Locating ministry services at local worship centers is almost non-existent despite the Cross' call for inclusion. The entire the Body of Christ is obligated to giving attention to the marginilized when making decisions for the Kingdom.  May this discussion help all to be cognizant of their responsibility of advocating for the overlooked.   
Everyone experiences brokenness along life's journey.  We often look to where we can place the blame on who did what to us instead of searching for what we can do to move past our pain.  There is a grace in hearing how someone else has made it in spite of their broken pieces.   
May this testimony release you to do the same!
Women have needs unique to those who have served in our nation's military branches.  Likewise, there are resources made available to this community to which they are entitled.  This session is dedicated to our sisters in arms as they will be connected with their first steps in accessing those resources in appreciation for their service.

Masterpiece!
Women naturally take care of everyone else first while falling last on their to-do lists.  Worse yet women gradually try fitting into the mold of everyone else's idea of what they should be and sometimes into what they think they should be.  We know better now and it time for women to embrace the necessity of self-care.  Their actual beauty is not what is on the outside or who they can please but their value is based on  the beautiful masterpiece they are in Christ!
A  PROPHETIC 
ENCOUNTER
God still speaks today through His prophets.

"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
1 Corinthians 10:13
O, indeed, "whosoever will may come;" but this is also true: "no man can come unto me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." And again: "Therefore I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given him of my Father.r." 
John 6:44, 65
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."
