Featured Workshop Topic – He Restores My Soul

How Bathsheba went from devastation to restoration – and you can too!

Knowing that we belong to God does not prevent us from having “one of those days, weeks, months, or even years” where everything seems to go wrong. Even when we feel crushed, perplexed, and desperate, we can cling to the promise in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 – God has not abandoned us.

Take a journey back in time. Meet David’s wife, Bathsheba, who experienced a season of grief, despair, and great loss. Step into her story and discover five tools God uses not only to take her soul from devastation to restoration – but ours as well.

Also available virtually.

The Christmas Angels – More than just Ornaments on a Tree

At Christmastime, everywhere we look we see “angels.” Some are fat little baby-like creatures, others are dressed in fine regalia and placed on top of our trees, still others make it into movies looking a lot like us, in search of earning their “wings.” But who are they really? What role did they play in the Christmas story? And what role do they play in your life today? This Christmas Beth invites you to:

“Meet the angels.” Find out who they are and are not.
Take a trip back in time and explore the roles these mysterious creatures play in God’s story.
Discover the angel’s role in your life today.

*Many mediums are used in this message, including Christmas carols and special music to transition participants from one time segment to the next. The church can either use their own talent, or Beth can bring a leader for an additional charge. Full presentation with music lasts about 1 hour.

Also available virtually.
