Most women expect in marriage to have children, but many face disappointment. For some, conception is difficult, or they experience miscarriage. How can we find comfort or give support to such women? This seminar will look at some of the issues we should consider and what the Bible says about them.

We apply for jobs, we shop for shoes, is it OK to search for a soul-mate? Our consumer culture offers many options which are available also to Christians. How shall we evaluate these options? Is there a place for a single girl to be pro-active?

Throughout the Bible, God told his people to show particular care for those who were alien and vulnerable. We are surrounded by people who are strangers in our land. This seminar will look at some of the issues involved and equip us to demonstrate God’s kindness to such people.

Many women for different reasons find themselves in the same position as Ruth and Naomi. How, in the aftermath of the death, desertion or divorce of your man, do you pick up your life and carry on?

We are Christians wherever we are, including our daily workplace. This seminar will help us regain our vision for work, both in how we work as Christians and in making the most of it as a unique place, our own mission field.

Do you find yourself avoiding large chunks of the Old Testament because you just don’t get it? How do you apply the lessons of Old Testament stories to 21st century life? There are some important principles we can all learn that will help us deal more confidently and carefully with the word of God as written in the Old Testament.
