C6 Spiritual Check-up—Dawn Grager
We go to the doctor on a regular basis for a physical health check-up, but what about our spiritual health?

If it’s been a while, take the time now to make an appointment and see what the Great Physician has in store for you!

C8 A Forever Family—Adoption and Orphan Care Ministry—Megan Miller

It will provide practical ways for you as a woman in Christ to be a part of God’s solution to the orphan crisis.

If you want to learn more about adoption or just want to know a simply way in which you can help to make a forever family a reality to the over 143 million orphans in the world today, this is the workshop for you.
