Beautiful Outlaw – John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, etc. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He’d say the most outrageous things. In the author’s winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes. Robin Craft/Room 100 (U-Turn Suite)

GriefShare (Session 1 – Mondays, 6:30 p.m.; Session 2 – Tuesdays, 10:00 a.m.) – A friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences.

These two new sessions will begin on Monday, February 17th, and on Tuesday, February 18th. Ginger Robinson/U-Turn Institute, Room 118 (U-Turn Suite)

Children of the Day – this brand-new group is led by Ashley Waldrop on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. beginning on February 12. Join author Beth Moore on the Thessalonian shores as you face real crises, real medical diagnoses, real afflictions, real relationships, real doubts, real concerns, and real fears. Let the tide wash your eyes with fresh vision. Don’t let pride or timidity come between you and the presence of God. Press in tightly. This is your journey to the shores of Thessalonica where you’ll write your name in the sand. Ashley Waldrop/Room 120 (U-Turn Suite)
