What's so Good about Feeling Bad?  Finding Purpose and a Path through Your Pain by Helene Golston - room 254

This class is for women who are struggling with pain in their lives.  Whether it be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, we all have pain in our lives. For those experiencing pain I would like to show how God is the great Healer and through His love we can learn to cope and encourage one another into a life of joy.  This class is not to complain about our trials but to find purpose in them.   

Crazy Love led by Elyse Young “If we truly grasped the improbability and overwhelming power of God’s love, we would be changed forever. We would think differently. Feel differently. Live differently. Nothing would be the same.” Francis Chan Crazy Love Book and Workbook

“You are not alone.” Book – Your Bible

Women of the Bible led by Melissa Holt

Women of the Bible, by Ann Spangler and Jean E. Syswerda, focuses on fifty-two remarkable women in Scripture—women whose struggles to live with faith and courage are not unlike your own. Vital and deeply human, the women in this book encourage you through their failures as well as their successes. You'll see how God acted in surprising and wonderful ways to draw them—and you—to himself.

Praying the Names of God led by Rose Madison

Names in the ancient world did more than simply distinguish one person from another, they often conveyed the essential nature and character of a person. This is especially true when it comes to the names of God recorded in the Bible. Praying the Names of God explores the primary names and titles of God in the Old Testament to reveal the deeper meanings behind them. Book: Praying the Names of God

A Passage Through Grief by Janet Muniz   A passage through grief offers healing opportunities for various forms of loss, whether it's death, divorce, break-up, abortion, etc., through journaling. There is a book for this class, $10.00

A Confident Heart led by Audrey Stover

Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough, smart enough, or valuable enough? Do words you say to yourself, or hear from others, make you question your worth and purpose? Renee understands. Even with a great family, a successful career, and a thriving ministry, she still sometimes struggled with paralyzing self-doubt. Offering the voice of a friend, Renee candidly, and sometimes humorously, shares her story of overcoming self-doubt with powerful Biblical Truths that transformed her life — and thousands of others!

Book by Renee Swope

PURE led by Carrie Ottalagano

Class BIO: PURE is a class designed for women of all ages. Every woman wants to obey God but we live in a society that flaunts sexuality. Sex was created by God, He designed it to be passionate BUT there are guidelines. To experience sex the way God intended, you have to be married. In PURE we will discuss how purity goes beyond sexuality. To live PURE, you will have to guard your heart. It is a spiritual, emotional, mental & physical battle. During this class, you will be encouraged to take a closer look at the condition of your heart. This class isn't just for single women...it's for all women! If you live with your boyfriend, join us. If you're praying for a Godly man, let us pray with you. Even if you're happily married or enjoy being single, this class is for you.

Unleashed Hearts (FWO) Group ~ Real Women, Real Issues, & Real Answers led by Elsa Garwood & Rosa Martinez 

Dealing from a betrayal due to a partner's behavior can be difficult and lonely. Whether it's adultery, addiction to porn, or an emotional affair....it can be a long and painful process. This is a time when you need real women who can support, women who can relate with issues you face and who can help you find real and practical answers.

A Diane Roberts workbook: "Betrayal & Beyond" is needed and can be purchased in the Rock church bookstore or online for about $20.

Our Winter 2014 class schedule convenes on Tuesday or Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:30pm with Elsa facilitating on Tuesdays through June 17, 2014, in Room 352 and Rosa facilitating on Wednesdays also in Room 352.
