As we dig into Proverbs 31 together, let's lay down our to-do lists and worldly expectations. Let's not overlook and undervalue what we can be certain He desires from our lives. Rather than just seeking something worthy to do, let's passionately pursue who God purposely created us to be. That's the heart behind this 30-day character study of the Proverbs 31 woman. Let's refuse to view this key chapter for women as an impossible job description. Instead, let's learn from this impressive character description we are only capable to reflect through God's divine power and matchless grace.

Thanksgiving/Thanksliving

Facilitator: Dr. Jim McCluskey Sundays, 6:00 - 7:00pm Room: Worship Center 2 Sessions November 13 & 20 To have a lifestyle of gratitude means we must DO something with our gratefulness. What if the question around our tables this year wasn’t just “What are you grateful for?” but rather “What will you do because you

are grateful?” That’s ThanksLIVING. Whatever you do, consider Thanksliving—the lifestyle of gratitude that is strategically hospitable when it’s easier to stick to the familiar. Why? Because you were once an outsider in need of that hospitable love too.
