"I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:1-2

The Storms of Life!
Speaker: Marvel DeWitt
Storms can take many forms: job loss, home foreclosure, a distressing diagnosis, divorce or loss of a husband or a child. What "life-jackets" do we put on and cling to when the storms of life "capsize our boat"? What do we do with the holes in our heart that the storms leave in their "wake"? During times of despair we must trust in what we know to be true.
In 1997 Marvel's only son, Kurt, age 26, was killed by a drunk driver. Two months later her nephew, Chuck, died suddenly from a heart attack at 29. Two incredible storms occurring without any warning! How does anyone survive something like this? Come learn about the hope that God offers through the unplanned storms we face. Marvel, wife, mother, grandmother, and retired Kindergarten teacher formally from Lockport, N.Y., now resides in Dallas, Texas.

Debbie Markham, a Christian Financial Specialist, is committed to helping her community make wise banking decisions.

The Road to Recovery.
Speaker: Robin Curry
Do you have hurts, hang-ups or habits?
A hurt is an emotional reaction to another persons' behavior or disturbing situation. For example: abuse, abandonment, codependency or divorce.
Hang-ups are negative mental attitudes that we use to cope with people or adversity. For example: anger, depression or fear.
A habit is an addiction to someone or something. For example: gambling, sex, shopping, smoking etc. These hinder your walk with God!
Robin has experienced the pain of divorce, hurts, hang-ups and habits. She is an administrator of the "Celebrate Recovery" program at the Alliance Church in Port Charlotte, Robin will share steps to begin the journey of celebrating Gods' healing power in our lives as we work toward recovery.

He Gives Us a New Song.
Speaker: Dr. Nell Maxwell
Psalm 40:1 says, I waited patiently for the Lord and He heard my cry. How can I be patient when I'm in the pit of despair? I've lost my spouse and I'm alone. No one cares about me. I'm worthless! I can no longer physically cope. I can't hold on much longer, I want to die!
Nell Maxwell, founder and past president of Women Alive Canada, has organized hundreds of conferences for women across Canada for over 30 years. Confined to a wheelchair due to a horrific car accident, Nell's ministry had to be put on hold during a long, painful, and discouraging rehab that took her to the brink of despair. But God promises to bring us a new song even when circumstances overwhelm us. Nell, wife, mother, and grandmother, is also an author, national speaker and a survivor. Bring your pad and pencils for her survival tips.
