In this workshop, you will learn a Bible study method so easy you will be able to feast on His word every day of the week!

Workshop 2 - " A Better Day – A Better Life: How to Thrive One Day at a Time " with Kelly Wilson:
11:15am - 12:30pm
Is it really possible to make the most of each day? Kelly believes the answer is yes! But sadly, the demands and difficulties of our challenging times – cause many of us believers to live in a “hanging-in-there” mode rather than a “thriving” mode. This workshop, which is based on a book by the same title, will cover a simple, yet profound model that enables people to construct better days, moment by moment. As your days improve, in time, you will see that your life become better overall. Participants will leave this session with easy-to-apply techniques to (a) improve their relationships, (b) to be more productive and (c) to enjoy their lives more than ever before. Whether you are personally going through a tough time that needs major improvement or whether you are in a good place and wondering if you could be any happier, this practical, introspective and interactive training will be a benefit to you.
Workshop 3 - "Is it Faith or is it Fake?” with Leann Rollins:
2:30pm - 3:30pm
Why do believers put on masks and attempt to fake their faith? They give the impression that they are fine, and paste a smile on their faces to convince the world all is well. In reality, their hearts are broken, and they are filled with despair and doubts. Do you know people like this, or maybe you’re saying, “That’s ME!” God doesn’t want us to fake it-- He wants us to have the real thing. We will look at the foundation of real faith, ways of building your faith, and begin together a journey of faith for living mask-free.
