A community event this Friday night

Here's a copy of an email I was just sent if anyone's interested :)

Just a reminder that the Crossroads Crisis Pregnancy Centre's Silent Auction will be held at Maranatha Centre at 7:00pm on November 19th, at 6553 Portsmouth Road, Nanaimo. This is one block from the Tim Hortons that is in the Canadian Tire mall, (across from Woodgrove Mall). Head out of Tim Horton's parking lot, look across the street and you will see Portsmouth Road within eye shot - 1 block down Portsmouth Road on the right is Maranatha Centre. Maranatha is beside the car dealership.

Admission is free. We have over $23,000. in items to auction off by silent auction. If you have never been before, please join us! This is a lot of fun! This is a great opportunity to purchase Christmas Gifts and Gift Certificates for items that you already have in your budget. We need all the help we can, in bringing friends and family to this event, so that the more than 500 items will be sold. There are large items and small ones, all brand new things, all donated by inviduals and businesses in the community. Would you come out to support the Crossroads Crisis Pregnancy Centre?

Refreshments are donated by Clinton Miller - Royal LePage Parksville (what a guy!!!). Come and have a cup of coffee with us and enjoy yourself, and help the Crossroads Crisis Pregnancy Centre at the same time.

Hope to see you soon!

Patriarchs Books

Patriarchs books will be available at the first session :)

Announcing our new fall studies!

Fall Women's Connections start this September 13th!

This fall, Melanie's morning group will look at healthy Christian living through Boundaries. Henry Cloud's book Boundaries: When to Say Yes, When to Say No to Take Control of Your Life will help you set healthy boundaries in relationships at home, work, and in ministry. This study will run eight weeks. You will need both the book plus the workbook.

Check out the Boundaries book by clicking here! Also, check out Boundaries reviews here.

Jen's evening group will be studying Beth Moore's Bible study, Patriarchs: Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We will look at Genesis 12-50, and study concepts such as blessing, covenant, and promise, as God pursues a relationship with us. We will study the beginnings of God's plan of revelation and redemption. (10 weeks, plus introduction video.)

**new location: the Underground!**

Check out a Patriarchs sample lesson here! And another one here!

Books will be available soon at the Christian bookstore, or through amazon.ca. Amazon.ca offers free shipping if you purchase $39 or more. Two sets of the Boundaries books and workbooks or Three Patriarchs books will get you there, so team up with friends and order together to save a little money! :)

Sign up at the Connection Table!

Don't forget to invite a friend! :)
