2026-02-11 13:30 - 15:00, 2026-02-18 13:30 - 15:00, 2026-02-25 13:30 - 15:00, 2026-03-04 13:30 - 15:00, 2026-03-11 13:30 - 15:00, 2026-03-18 13:30 - 15:00, 2026-03-25 13:30 - 15:00 (America/Chicago)
You’re invited to join us for a 10‑week Bible study exploring Ten Women of the Bible: One by One They Changed the World (Updated Edition) by Max Lucado. Together, we’ll look at the lives of remarkable women such as Sarah, Esther, Mary Magdalene, and others whose stories continue to inspire faith today.

Each session highlights their unique journeys and the lessons they offer – showing how God worked through ordinary, imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things. The study also includes daily prayers and reflections to help deepen understanding and connect their experiences to our own lives.

Books should be purchased in advance and are available from Amazon: https://a.co/d/g3FYPaj

We meet each Wednesday at 1:30 PM in the downstairs classrooms. All are welcome to come, learn, and grow together.

Supporting a teen or young adult who’s struggling can be challenging — and sometimes isolating. This workshop offers practical tools to help you respond with confidence, compassion, and calm.

From 3:00–4:00 PM, we’ll hear from Rev. Monica Harbarger, MA, NCC, LPC‑S, Executive Director of United Counseling in Birmingham. She will share insight into mental health and wellness, factors that impact well‑being, the unique challenges facing teens and young adults today, and how to recognize and support someone who may be experiencing a mental health crisis.

From 4:00–5:00 PM, participants will move into breakout sessions:

Caring Adults Session led by Rev. Harbarger

Teens & Young Adults Session led by Rev. Denise Mullaney, LiCSW, PIP, MDiv, United Counseling’s Huntsville provider

These smaller groups allow space for questions, coping strategies, and supportive conversation.

At 5:00 PM, all are invited to stay for an optional free meal — a taco and nacho bar from Taco Mama — and a chance to connect with others navigating similar concerns.

Please note: This workshop is educational in nature and is not diagnostic or a substitute for a clinical relationship with a licensed mental health professional.
