Breaking Down the Pros, Cons, and Myths Surrounding America’s Favorite Fad Diets (Claire Ramage)
Eating healthy can seem hard, but cutting through the noise of diet culture is arguably much harder. In this workshop, I’ll be discussing 5-6 of the most popular diets in America, breaking down the pros and cons of each and equipping you with the tools needed to make your diet decisions based on science, not culture.
Not a Scary Evangelism Class (Meghan Roberts & Laken Waller)
Join us as we learn how to share our stories in such a way that we bring others closer to Christ! Don’t worry… this won’t be like a typical EV training. We hope you leave filled up and encouraged for what God is already doing in your life.
Biblical Joy (April Gauvain)
What is biblical joy and how does it compare to the world’s idea of joy? What does this joy look like in the life of a believer? How could I possibly have joy when life is so hard? These questions and more will be explored as we look to the Scriptures and discuss what biblical joy is all about.

A Capsule Wardrobe for ALL Four Seasons (Julie Penton)
This workshop will teach you how to build a basic capsule wardrobe of 10 items that transition through each season with the clever use of accessories, layers and other fun tricks. I’ll teach you how less clothing in your closet is truly more and budget friendly.
Introduction to Watercolor for Relaxation (Yvonne King)
