2011 Workshops

How to love your Husband

   Sue Harrington

Tab BroxholmeIt matters to God how we treat our husband. We are the only people who can be a supportive wife to our own husband. If we don't show them respect they will suffer. This seminar explores some of the ways we can honour God and our husband in our marriage.

Isn't it 'just a job'?  Finding purpose in the workplace

   Philli Harris

What does it mean to be a Christian professional? Is our work of eternal significance, even if it’s not in direct "gospel ministry"? I'll be sharing from my experience as a GP (and now mum), as we think through how we serve God in our workplaces.

Three things to do everyday

   Lesley McGrath-Woodley

Two are obvious but Bible feeding is often neglected. Explore ways to sustain your life by regular Bible reading and prayer.

Identity and Self-esteem: Seeing yourself God’s way

   Caroline Litchfield

How should I view myself? What is the basis for my self-esteem? Our culture tells us it’s our appearance, our possessions, our jobs, and our friends. But what does the Bible tell us? Come along as we learn to view ourselves according to what God says is important. (Repeated from 2010)

God at Work?

   Naomi Hill

Work can be many things- challenging, frustrating, enjoyable, boring... For many of us we're just not sure where God fits there. How does being Christ's ambassador make a difference to the way I work? A seminar to help you think through the issues and explore some options to support you as you work for Christ...at work.

Navigating 'Women in Ministry'

   Tamie Davis

Bible believing Christians have a range of views on what women can and can't do in ministry. It's an emotional issue with hotly debated answers! Tamie Davis will help us to navigate the various views and interact lovingly with those who think differently. If you're wondering what to do with what the Bible says about women in ministry, this would be a great start to thinking things through.

Raising Children with God at the Centre

   Wendy Lin

A chance to think about how to teach young children the things of God in daily life, traditions and the celebrations of the year. Relevant both for mothers of young children (babies to primary school), and those who are involved in the lives of little ones (eg godmothers, aunts, etc). (Repeated from 2010)

Sense and Sensibility

   Anthea Marshall

Most young women dream of finding their one true love, and being swept away in a whirl of romance by their handsome hero. As lovely as this notion may be... the bible has some important things to tell us all concerning the most important relationship we will ever have; the true purpose of our relationships; whom we should be in close relationship with; and the qualities we should be seeking in a husband.

Growing Great Girls

   Denise Rigley

Psalm127:3 tells us that our children are a reward from the Lord, a gift, and a heritage. With the privilege of being given such a great gift comes responsibility to bring our children up in the training and instruction of the Lord, so that they will continue to live for Him and obey Him when they are adults.

In a short workshop, I will present some biblical principles and practical helps for Christian parents in the training of strong Christian girls in a culture where recognition of God’s views for living is in rapid decline.

Becoming a Mum

   Jo Lock

These days there are lots of opinions around as to what a young mum should or should not do. Jo will be taking you through her journey of discerning how to do this young mum thing.

Unwrapping the Unfolding Message of Christ in the Old Testament

   Katy Smith

Confused about the relevance of the Old Testament to the Christian life? Taking Isaiah 52:13-53:12 as an example, we will explore how the story of the Bible unfolds and how the Old Testament finds its goal and purpose in the crucified and risen Christ.

Have you ever been asked a tricky question about God and struggled to know how to answer it? This workshop will highlight the principles in how to answer questions that glorify God, and then apply those principles to 10 commonly asked questions. This will be a practical and interactive seminar.
