Can You Ever Be Prepared for Menopause?
Dr. Debra Doubek, Manhattan, KS

Count It All Joy
Marsha Shelor, Minneola, KS
It is in the trials and the difficult times when our faith truly blossoms, yet why do we always pray for blessings, good health, safety, and the meeting of our needs?

Facebook, Twitter, Texting, Email
Mel Dannefer, Rossville, KS
Ginger Bradley, Rossville, KS
Our world is wrapped up in the latest social networking trends. Technology is designed to save time and money, but what is the cost in your personal relationships? Come explore the potential dangers these seemingly harmless trends of non-verbal communication present to you and your family. We will discuss ways to protect ourselves and our families from Satan's lure.

Finding Your Armor
Mindi Clark, Byron, OK
This fun-filled seminar will help you find the armor you need to take a stand against the devil's schemes. Empowering Scripture is all you need to "shield" you against many issues faced by today's women. God's promises can give you the confidence needed to clothe yourself in Him and to make a difference for Him.

Friendship: One Size Fits All
Marcy Cassel, Manhattan, KS
It's true, what a friend we have in Jesus. II Cor. 5:20-21 says "Become friends with God; he's already a friend with you." He is the one friend we can always depend on and he is the perfect example for us to follow as we try to be a good friend to others. Come and learn how to improve this important role in your life. Your friends are counting on you.

Global Missions or American Politics?
Bob Reader, Manhattan, KS
Any good Christian wouldn't hesitate to embrace the former and perhaps even despise the latter. But all it takes for evil to reign is for good men and women to do nothing. The Church cannot choose between missions and politics, it must pursue both. Hear how one man is balancing both missions and politics and you can, too.

God's All Occasion "Bling"
Peggy Fisher, Topeka, KS
Are you accessorizing your armor with PRAYER? In this make-it, take-it workshop based on Ephesians 6:18, you will learn how prayer can deepen your relationship with Christ and add the finishing touch you need to increase your spiritual confidence as you face the challenges of daily life. "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize." (Claire Belcher in Steel Magnolias)

Growing as a Godly Wife
Lisa Ingram, Manhattan, KS
Marriage--everyone has an opinion about this relationship and there are hundreds of books written on this topic, but what does the Bible say about it? This in-depth look will take us through Proverbs and beyond. We will find ways to encourage one another in our important role as wives.

It's Not Just Funeral Dinners Anymore!
Cindy Swinney, Lincoln, NE
To meet the needs of todays (and tomorrow's) Christian women, ministry plans must creatively fit busy schedules and the commitments of family and work. Traditional service ministries serve important needs, but ladies long for opportunities to fellowship with one another, encourage one another as well as stretch themselves to grow spiritually. We will share fresh ideas that congregations of all sizes will be able to use to increase their women's ministry's effectiveness.

Rat Race vs. Balanced Christian Life
Kevin Ingram, Manhattan, KS
Are you trying to win the rat race or are you living like a follower of Christ? Is the media influencing your decisions, your standard of living, your time commitments and your Christian accountability? Let's come together and focus on the moral, spiritual, and relational aspects of our lives and how we impact those around us. God wants to pour himself into us so that we are ready to do what he needs us to do.

Tools for Understanding Scripture
Alisha Paddock, Manhattan, KS
Ever wondered how to use the best-selling book of all time? This seminar delves into the process of interpreting Scripture: investigating a passage's context, content, and its application to modern-day readers. Join us we're going to be diving into Ephesians 6:10-17.

What NOT to Wear
Lenay Marteney, Manhattan, KS
Our closets are similar to our lives—we all have things that don't fit anymore, things we never want to see or think about again and wish we could get rid of, and even some things we LOVE and cling to (whether they are in style or not!). This seminar is a careful look at how we can use EVERYTHING in our closets to make a fashion statement for Christ and how we can use our spiritual wardrobe to keep the "fashion faux pas" out.

Women in Unexpected Leadership
Robin Scott, Oklahoma City, OK
Did you ever wonder how Esther felt as she prepared for a very unexpected leadership role to preserve the people of God? Women today can find themselves in unexpected roles "for such a time as this". We will explore the experiences of modern women as they are representing Christ in a very needy world.
