Breakout sessions provide you the opportunity to choose the topics that interest you the most. In these sessions you will dig into scripture and obtain a deeper understanding of relevant issues facing us today. Who knows, you might even make a new friend!
We gather women from our church body to lead these 40-minute sessions. There will be three rounds of breakout sessions on Saturday. You will choose from the list below for Sessions 1 and 2. Everyone will attend the same Mid-day Session, held in the Sanctuary, the time depending on your lunch shift. (See our schedule on the home page.)
There is no special sign-up for these sessions, they are offered on a first come, first served basis. Seating will be limited in many sessions. Always have a back-up session planned in case your first choice is full when you get to the room. If there are no available seats in a session, please go to a different session.
2025 BREAKOUT SESSION TOPICS
Abiding in Christ: Unlocking the Secret to Deep Joy
What if the joy you’re searching for isn’t found in striving—but in abiding? In this session, we’ll explore Jesus’ invitation to remain in Him as the true vine and the complete joy that comes from living in alignment with God’s purpose. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry or simply longing for more, this session will help you move from surface-level happiness to a deep, unshakable joy that endures.
Teacher: Linda Weaver
The Best Yes: Abiding in Christ and Living with Purpose
In a world that pulls us in a thousand directions, how do we discern which opportunities are truly God’s best for us? Rooted in John 15, this session will explore how remaining deeply connected to the True Vine empowers us to say “yes” to what matters most and “no” to distractions that drain us. We will leave encouraged to release the pressure of people-pleasing, make choices from a place of peace, and embrace the freedom of faithful obedience. Your “best yes” isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters, in Him.
Teacher: Amanda Johnson
Rooted and Flourishing: Abiding in the Word
Staying grounded in God's Word is not just a discipline—it's our lifeline. In this session, we’ll explore how to cultivate a rich, meaningful relationship with Scripture through practical tools and Spirit-led habits. We’ll reflect on what it means to abide in Christ and how the Word of God nourishes our souls, shapes our identity, and bears lasting fruit in every season of life. Whether you're new to studying the Bible or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will offer guidance on how to approach Scripture with both heart and mind, grow in spiritual maturity, and experience the joy that comes from remaining in Him.
Teacher: Shannon O'Connor
Abide and Listen: Hearing the Voice of God in Everyday Life
In the busyness of life, it’s easy to feel disconnected from God’s voice—drowned out by responsibilities, noise, and self-doubt. Yet Jesus invites us into something deeper: a life of abiding. Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” From that place of connection flows clarity, peace, and the ability to recognize His voice. In this session, we’ll learn to tune our hearts to the Shepherd who is always speaking.
Teacher: Tami Croy
