Making the Bible Come Alive - Joy Muller Most of us have been encouraged to study the Bible, but many of us have never been shown how.  Or we may feel inadequate, or dependent on others to tell us what God’s Word says. God desires that we know Him through His Word, and the truth is that you can open your Bible anytime and study it on your own using some very simple concepts. Learn how to interact with the text in a straight forward, investigative manner and discover the truth of God’s Word for yourself! a Joy has been in music ministry most of her life and a Precept Bible Study leader for over 15 years.  She is an RN and uses her “extra time” mentoring, participating in her church’s music ministry, and teaching Precept Bible Study--“her passion.”

	Letting Go of the Past by Fully Relying on God—Lori Weller We’ve all been hurt in the past.  We can let those wounds fester and continue to torment us, or we can choose to let God use our very brokenness to refine and transform us.  In a transparent fashion, Lori will share the dramatic story of her struggles and how she learned to “let go and let God.”  Learn how you too can gain faith in God’s plan for your life and come to know that He really is in control and is using everything in your life to make you a better, happier person. a After leading worship in her church for a number of years, God lead Lori to form the La Pine Community Arts Choir, a Christian choir whose purpose is to bring the community closer together and to help other organizations raise money for the needy.  Find her on Facebook at La Pine Community Arts Choir.
	Achieving Divine Health—Eileen Fahlgren We all want to be healthy, but what does real health look like?  Our mental, emotional and spiritual state greatly affects our physical well-being.  When one area is “off,” the other areas will be off kilter as well.  God’s perspective of health is different and so much better than our culture’s contradictory and ever-changing standards.  Discover how, with Christ as your center, you can enjoy true health and vitality! a Eileen is active in her local church and has ministered to many women through Fit for the King women’s ministry over the past five years.  Her heart’s desire is to help other women live healthier lives and walk in the freedom of God’s love.  Read more at www.fitfortheking.info.
