FLOURISH | Fall Enrollment
FLOURISH OPEN ENROLLMENT
October 1 - 31 | Mentor/mentee matching in November
Flourish is a mentoring program that pairs women in different stages of their spiritual life for a 12-month journey through The Word. Within these intentional relationships, mentors and mentees grow through authentic community, devoted time in Scripture, and prayer. To become women who flourish, we benefit from the wisdom and encouragement of those who have gone before us and reflect Jesus (Titus 2:3-5). We believe a mentoring relationship between women can be rich soil for such growth. You can ask someone to join this journey, or we can match you with someone else who has signed up. Once registration is closed, we will begin the matching process. We will notify you in November of your match and get you the appropriate book (there are options) to study.
Online registration is open throughout October.
Cost is $30 (covers your book material).
Check out the FLOURISH page on our website (www.familychurchweb.com/flourish) for more details!

We will be taking a day to continue diving into the abiding practice of rest, utilizing the study Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath by Priscilla Shirer. This Bible study is focused on the concept of Sabbath rest. Shirer uses scripture, personal insight, and practical application to help us slow down, set boundaries, and create intentional space for God in our daily lives. There will be video sessions throughout the day, with the opportunity to debrief new learning in small groups between sessions. The day will encourage each of us to step away from busyness and constant productivity to find deeper spiritual renewal and trust in God.
Feel free to invite your friends! This event is open to all women - high school age and up.
