 Start
off the new year with laughter by listening to
Brenda Elsagher— comedian, author and national
keynote speaker—while enjoying a delicious meal.
We're pleased to have Brenda, a cancer survivor who
has spoken to many organizations around the Twin
Cities and the USA, help lighten our day with her
funny and poignant stories. We'll hear how she uses
humor to cope with difficulties we face in our
everyday lives.

and find out more information. In the meantime,
learn more about Brenda by visiting her website at

training with Beth Moore’s newest study,
“Esther: It’s Tough
Being a Woman.” Facing heavyweights bent on her
destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that

Life
is a succession of ever-changing seasons: seasons of joy
and sorrow, seasons of tranquility and instability,
seasons of raising children and letting them go, seasons
of change and transition, seasons of new beginnings and
sad good-byes. Whether you're young or old, married or
single, a mother of preschoolers or an "empty-nester,"
this study will guide you to the pages of God's Word
where you will discover how to:
-
Understand and identify
the seasons of life.
-
Experience joy, meaning,
and purpose in every season of life.
-
Discover contentment in
every season of life.
