Saturday, February 8
9:00-11:30am
Guest presenter: Jenean Moore, LCPC – White Stone Resources

While facing anxiety and depression can be challenging and even scary...we need to know that there is hope! Join us for this helpful workshop as we learn more about these common mental health concerns and learn about practical tools that are anchored in God’s truth which can help us manage these concerns. This workshop is appropriate for people ages 14 and older; it can be helpful both for people experiencing anxiety and/or depression, and for parents, family members, ministry leaders, and professionals who work with teens and adults.

Register on Realm if you plan to attend and if you need childcare.

The Old Testament law is often a subject of confusion, head scratching, and debate. What do ancient commands about purity, animal sacrifice, and priestly robes have to do with us as Christians today? Join us for a lecture + Q&A with our own Dr. Dick Averbeck. Dr. Averbeck, a longtime professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, is a published expert on this topic and will help us learn how to both read these laws and apply them to our lives. If you've got kids, feel free to bring them to Kid Trek which runs at the same time.

Mark your calendars for our next member meeting on February 23. In addition to our standard business items (welcoming new members, financial updates, and nominating process for elected leadership), we also have three topics to spend some time reviewing with you:
● Ministry updates
● Vote on Elected Leaders
● Renew campaign update
● Q&A
● Open House following meeting

If there is a question or a topic you wish to be on the agenda, email the elders by February 13 (elders1@vcgurnee.org).
Childcare is available, register on Realm.
