Please Join us at our Shakopee church & school location (8600 Horizon Dr., Shakopee, MN 55379) on Saturday, November 7th for our Get Moving retreat with Amber Albee Swenson.
Amber Albee Swenson has authored several books and is a regular blogger and podcaster for Time of Grace. Mostly she’s amazed at God’s goodness, awed by his wisdom and desire to grow her, and continually stretched by his calling in her life. For more details about her ministry, go to amberalbeeswenson.com.
Amber also travels the world with speaking engagements and meeting fellow believers and wants the Bible to become a more personal, practical journey that comes alive. She’s not here to impress you with theology, but to walk with you. She tackles real questions with us, and wants us to know that God sees you, knows you and loves you. His word is for you.
Here is the schedule for the day.
8:30-9:00 AM ~ Worship/announcements
9:00-9:45 AM Who You Are is Not Who You Have to Be
Are you tired of living with the same pain, the same issues, the same relational problems, but don't know what to do about it? So many of us have felt stuck in anger, grief, regret or hurt. It doesn’t need to be that way! You don't have to stay the same person you once were.
9:45-10:15 AM Discussion/Application
10:15-10:40 AM Stretch/drinks/snack break
10:45- 11:45 AM Deal with the Feels
We'll examine the issues that block us from moving on. Self-talk, forgiveness, (or an inability to forgive), sin, and unresolved conflict often contribute to emotional paralysis. We'll identify your issues and come up with a plan to move forward in faith.
11:45 AM-12:15 PM Discussion/Application
12:15-1:15 PM Lunch
1:15-2:15 PM Be Brave
How can we be sure God would have us move out of complacency and the ruts we sink into? We'll do a deep dive into 2 Timothy 1:7 to determine what it means to have the Spirit equip us with power, love and self-discipline and how those things are the key not only to courage but to change. We'll identify that pesky naysayer that holds us back and come up with a plan to thwart it. Life is too short to be timid. It's time to be brave.
2:15-2:45 PM Discussion/Application
2:45-3:00 PM Worship and goodbye
