Workshop:  Titus2:3-5:

Sharing Spiritual Legacies Growing into Biblical womanhood doesn’t just happen; Christian women are called by God into relationships with one another.  This interactive workshop will allow us to look at Titus 2:3-5 and explore the details of what these relationships should look like.  The workshop will lead women to reflect upon and consider how they are to encourage, mentor, train, and teach one another as we live to glorify God in all that we do.

We will explore the importance of how more mature Christian women can live alongside and build into the lives of the younger ones.  Importantly, we will address the needs of both; the older women who desire to know how to lead the younger and younger women who long for a more spiritually disciplined professional and home life.
