Self-Reliance Resources
Virtual Groups starting in February
We plan to hold the following groups starting in February:
Finding Strength in the Lord – Emotional Resilience– this group will meet for ten weeks for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, typically on a Sunday evening.
To become like the Savior, everyone will need to face challenges and hardships during this life. Dealing with life’s challenges successfully requires faith in Jesus Christ and emotional resilience. Emotional resilience is the ability to adapt to emotional challenges with courage and faith centered in Jesus Christ, helping yourself and others the best you can, and reaching out for additional help when needed. This course is designed to strengthen you spiritually and teach you some basic skills for dealing with life’s challenges and disappointments. You’ll also learn from the experiences and help of other group members.
Personal Finances – this group will meet for 12 weeks for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours, typically on a Sunday evening.
In the parable of the talents, Christ teaches us that we must take care of what we have been given. The Lord allows us to be caretakers—or stewards—over His gifts to us. To those who are faithful with His gifts, Christ promises, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:21).
