“Big Red”- Living Life Under God’s Umbrella
“Who do you say I am?” from Matt 16:15.

What do you KNOW that you know, that you KNOW?

This workshop touches on how our perception in our early understandings of anything religious or spiritual develops. Also what role does our perspective-or point of view play in that understanding? Those contemplative questions will lead us to desire a clearer understanding of what biblical truth is, in light of our current knowledge. What does “living life under God’s umbrella” look like? This workshop is an exploratory beginning into deeper thoughts of what DO I believe and is it truth?

Umbrellas All in A Row-A Timeline of YOUR Story
For I know the plans I have for YOU, Jer. 29:11

A colorful timeline using umbrellas become the backdrop of this “work” shop. However, creating a visual timeline of people, events and circumstances that have been important in our lives using an easy to follow step by step approach is the main component of this activity. Exploring some of the positive and the challenging moments that shaped who we are today. Where is God in all of this? What are the lessons learned? Then having the opportunity to become the storyteller by sharing of a piece of your timeline within a safe small group setting of 2 or 3 for the purpose of hearing in new ways how God has been present in every facet of our lives. Each group becomes a “listening lab” as we go deeper into practicing the skill of “3 way listening”.

What Kind of An Umbrella are YOU? –
Personalities Are Priceless!
I am fearfully and wonderfully made… Psalms 139:14

Working on a group or table “project” that allows all personalities to learn and “shine” makes for a very fun and interactive learning experience. Then thoughtfully exploring your personality characteristics can lend itself to some new understandings about who you are created to be and a deeper insight to others in your life!
You are enough!

Umbrella Etiquette – “Walking With Others”
For we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God has prepared in advance for us to do. Eph. 2:10

It’s not always easy to walk with others under an umbrella. There are some helpful hints to keep us moving forward. We each have gone through unique life challenges and triumphs that God desires us to use as we “journey” with others whom are placed in our paths. Experiences don’t make us “experts” but allows us room to empathize, listen, support and extend grace to others. Who should you invite “under your umbrella”? You are “qualified” to walk with others!

**Each presentation is a unique blend of faith based interactive teaching and activities that can be tailored to a variety of age, and types of groups, such as Women’s, Youth, Family and oh, so much more!
If you have other needs for your group just let me know and we’ll see how God wants to use “umbrellas” to “speak” into your event I’ve found Him to be VERY creative!
