We were challenged to JUMP into the life God has for us.

To Jennifer, Stormie and Michael—Thank you for sharing of yourselves this weekend! We were truly blessed!

For the 18 co-host churches and the army of volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the weekend special—it was a joy!

And for those who attended, may you be encouraged that what God started in your heart and life this weekend, He will indeed be faithful to complete it. So, go ahead and JUMP!

10 weeks

Tuesday Mornings, 9:30 a.m.-Noon

Room 209

Leader: Judy McGoldrick

Behind Those Eyes encourages women to face the reality of who they are and who God created them to be resulting in mended souls, repaired relationships and stronger connections with family and friends. By looking at the various roles women often play to mask feelings of insecurity, fear, and dissatisfaction with life; truths from God’s Word are used to see the value of being authentic. Say good-bye to facades such as Ms. Perfection, Ms. Confidence, Ms. Happiness and Ms. Spirituality and embrace who God created you to be!

You will be challenged to encourage one another in grace and to reach out to others with the love of Christ.
