Something in Common Saturdays • 10:30–11:30 AM
Pioneer Room 141 "Healing The Mind", by Timothy R. Jennings, MD. Have you ever been hurt, lonely, depressed, frightened and hopeless? Or maybe you have found yourself feeling helpless, that gut-wrenching helplessness when someone you care about is hurting, distressed, and on the verge of giving up and you don’t know how to help them. Did you wish you had something to give them, something that would help? "Healing the Mind" is six of Dr. Jennings' most important lectures, recorded live during a 2-day seminar. The material is based on his book, "Could It Be This Simple". The lecture topics are: June 29 –
"God's Principle: The Law of Love and Liberty"
July 6 – "The Fix for Failing Families'
July 13 – "Demolishing Satan's Strongholds"
July 20 – "Depression: The Brain-Body Connection"
July 27 – "Forgiveness: Seven Common Myths" (+ Q&A)
Fellowship Dinner There will be a fellowship dinner, following the second worship service in the commons, on the lower level.
