Beware of Identity Theft Lenay Marteney, Manhattan, KS In 2014, a new victim of identity theft was reported every 2 seconds! Christians must beware of the original identity thief! Satan is relentless in his pursuit of us. This thief comes to steal our spiritual identity, kill our passion, and destroy our relationship with Christ. Come find out about the protection plan that Elohim, the Creator, offers each one of us. Children of Grace Melanie Horton, Manhattan, KS Sometimes, Christian parents raise children who make decisions with which their parents disagree. How do we, as Christian parents, show grace to adult children who are making life-choices we feel we cannot support? This seminar will seek to explore opportunities for growth in Christ as a parent of a rebellious adult child and in ways to grow in your parent-child relationship. A Christian Encounter with Islam Rusty Thornley, Manhattan, KS Muslim communities are growing and the nightly news reminds us that radical Islam is also on the move. These developments provide the church with many evangelistic, social, and political challenges and yet we re uncertain what to do. Together we will explore biblical Christianity and what a believer can do to effectively interact and minister to their Muslim neighbors and coworkers. Crazy Busy Trisha Kvasnica, Manhattan, KS Our culture is one of endless opportunities and information. It is easy to find yourself over committed and exhausted on a daily basis. Come learn some tips from a recovering activity junkie on saying no, developing some margin in your life and focusing your priorities. Cultivating Oneness in Marriage Craig & Julie Miller, Mound Ridge, KS While we live in a culture that is absorbed with self-centered living, s purpose in marriage is to live selflessly together nurturing a unified relationship - a ONENESS. What does it look like? What keeps it from happening? Explore this incredible design for our relationship and the blessings that come when we live out s purpose of oneness in marriage. Healthy Habits Stephanie Johnson, Manhattan, KS Staying healthy can be challenging! Start improving your current level of total health today.

HIS Women Doers of the Word Linda Ingram, Mobile, AL As Christians, we believe that it is important for us to help others, but why? Come and learn from the Old Testament story of Queen Esther and the New Testament teaching of Jesus in the Parable of the Talents how we are equipped to disciple and bring glory to through community outreach and prayerful service. Holy Spirit You are Welcome Here Jessica Snyder, Holton, KS Join us as we dive into scripture to broaden our understandings of this amazing gift and helper from the Lord. Together we will move away from containing the Spirit in a box and learn to reap the many blessings we are offered. Inside Look at the Pleasure- Seeking Lifestyle Pam Spaulding, Manhattan, KS In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon describes the vanity of seeking earthly pleasures and what living a life without looks like. Come and learn the importance of gaining wisdom and placing at the center of one s life, work and activities. This book is rich with instructions on how to live meaningfully, purposefully, and joyfully. Learning from Peter Marcy Cassel, Manhattan, KS Peter learned the hard way. Often, it took a storm, a miracle, or a good scare to get through to him. We do the same, right? This impetuous, impulsive, and reckless man learned from Jesus, and wrote two how to books for us. Come learn from a guy who s been there and knows how to trust Jesus and experience the goodness he intends for us. Sovereign One Kevin Ingram, Manhattan, KS is the first and the last. He is always with us. He never changes and His promises never fail. How can we have a personal, growing relationship with such a great?
