We all worry from t

ime and energy\, it gets in the way of us living our lives fully---and we
don't even enjoy the things in our life we actually care about in the firs
t place. This 4 Session workshop helps you examine the nature of your worr
y and how to recognize when you get caught up in it. Learn to adjust your
perspective and your actions to 'un-hook' from disruptive stress.Wednesday

Every day\, millions of people are trafficked and forced int
o slavery. It doesn't just happen in other countries\, it doesn't just h
appen in other cultures\, and it doesn't just happen to other people. Mo
dern day slavery is a real\, growing\, and local industry. People are be
ing bought\, sold\, and forced to do unspeakable things for an unspeakable
price. People are being abused\, broken\, and traded in our own backyar
ds. Slavery happens in our country\, in our neighborhoods\, and we can't
turn a blind eye to it. We have to educate ourselves\, we have to be a
voice\, and we have to do something.
One person can make a diff
erence. One step\, one action at a time is what it takes to fight the ba
ttle against human trafficking. If you have been wondering where to star
t\, start here! Life Community Church will be hosting a Women's Event to
raise funds to support the Centre of Redemption\, which provides a better
opportunity of life to female survivors of sex trafficking\, by offering
safe long-term housing\, education\, counseling and life skills aiding in
their integration to independence.
This event\, Pinterest With
A Purpose\, will be held on Friday\, November 16\, from 7:00 - 9:00pm at L
ife Community Church (the church in the mall!). We will provide supplies
and instruction for several different craft projects that we have found o
n Pinterest (for example\, jewelry making) which will then be sold online.
All proceeds from the sales will go directly to support the COR.
The cost for this event is $5.00\, and tickets can be purchased at t
he door. We are asking that everyone bring either an appetizer or desser
t (from a recipe you found on Pinterest\, of course!). LifeCC will provi
de beverages.
Please register through this site if you will be
able to attend so we can get a rough estimate of how many supplies to prov
ide. Invite friends\, invite family members\, invite anyone! We can do
something to make a difference.
