Summer Of Love — Gary Hixson — (Room 25)

Philippians 1:9-11 says, "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God.” Those joining in this time of sharing will walk through the words of Jesus and his disciples about what loving well looks like and how we can partner with each other within our faith family to do the most good possible in Jesus’ name. "May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17 NIV.

Caring Assertiveness: Speaking the Truth with Grace — Terri Bowles & Anne Kinlaw — (Room 16)

This class focuses on assertive communication. Many believe that assertiveness is being forceful, demanding or getting your own way, when it is the ability to communicate honestly, directly and respecting others while valuing all parties. Contrary to what many believe, Jesus is the perfect example of assertive communication. His example provides a powerful model for communicating in ways that honor God and build healthy relationships. We will explore the differences between passive, aggressive and assertive communication and learn practical skills for handling everyday relationships more effectively.
