Saturday Workshops (1:00 & 3:00 pm)
Tending the Hidden Heart: Discovering the Places God Wants to Heal in the Shadows
Wherever you are right now is exactly where God wants to meet you. He isn't waiting for you to "get it together." He is already here, inviting you to be completely honest with Him. Lasting external transformation only happens when we take a courageous, honest look inside. This workshop will equip you to understand the inner dynamics of change and growth, providing practical steps to transform your relationships with yourself, others, and God.

From Pressure to Presence: Be Still Without Falling Behind and Release the Fear That Rest Will Cost You
Do you long to experience God's presence but feel distracted by work, family, endless to-do lists, and the pressure to hold everything together? In thisworkshop, you will learn to recognize the noise, exhaustion, and striving that make it hard to hear God; release the fear that slowing down will cause you to fall behind; and create realistic rhythms of rest and stillness throughout your day. You will leave with biblical truth and practical tools to move from pressure to peace and carry an awareness of God's presence into your work, home, and everyday life.

Bible Made Simple
The Bible can often feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to understand—but the Bible was never meant to feel impossible or intimidating. In thisworkshop, we will break down the Bible in a simple and approachable way by exploring:
• What is the Bible?
• What's inside the Bible?
• How do we study the Bible?
Together, we'll look at practical ways to approach, read, and study the Bible in everyday life. My hope is that you leave feeling encouraged, more confident, and reminded that God wants us to know Him through His Word.
