SCHEDULE FOR PITTSBURGH

Dealing with Difficult Girls
(Seminar Series #1)
Oct 31 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
Pittsburgh

Sugar and spice and everything nice—that’s what girls are made of? Then what’s up with those moments when you need a flow chart just to keep up with who said what and who’s mad at whom? Or other moments when you watch girls that you’ve poured your heart and life into make choices that cause you to wonder if they’ll ever have a chance for a future? Some days there just isn’t enough Kleenex or chocolate to keep up with the drama. Yet God has a tender heart and a specific plan for his daughters. Come gain practical insight into the “chick network” through honest discussion about the webs and layers of young women’s relationships, as well as the process of decision making in the creative, complex, and sometimes not-so-pretty adolescent “girl world.” You’ll also discover practical ways to not only deal with, but also disciple young women through the not-so-sugar-and-spice moments.

Small Groups 101
(Seminar Series #5)
Nov 2 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
Pittsburgh

Yours, Mine, and Ours: Ministry Life with Blended Famlies
(Seminar Series #6)
Nov 3 9:00 AM-10:30 AM
Pittsburgh

It’s a crazy, mixed-up world of yours, mine, and ours. The statistics tell us that lots of marriages fail the first time around. They also tell us that more Americans live in stepfamilies than in nuclear families. Kids split their time between several households and celebrate holidays four to five times to accommodate all the in-laws, outlaws, and parental types involved in their family life. It’s complicated and sometimes messy. Come discover some practical strategies to help students not only survive but thrive when life at home isn’t like the Cleavers.
