Summer Thursday Night Women’s Study – Gideon: Your weakness, God’s strength by Priscilla Shirer
From a state of fear, weakness, and insecurity, Gideon emerged as Israel’s hero, filled with God’s presence and passion for deliverance.
In what ways do you feel insufficient? Those places create the greatest opportunity to experience the sufficiency of God. Instead of ignoring, neglecting, or trying to escape your weaknesses, see them as the gifts that they are, given specifically and strategically by God to unlock the door of God’s strength.

YPG Spring Workshop
Is there more to life than being “successful” in the business and professional world? What is my purpose? Whose Kingdom am I serving? Join an eight-week small group workshop for young professionals (20s/30s) to discuss these questions as well explore issues like work-life balance, vocation and calling and cultural Christianity verses authentic living.
YPG is co-facilitated by J.C. Cancellari and Lisa Rattner – credentialed coaches and trainers and utilizes nationally-tested resources for skills assessment and professional development.
Hear from a few YPGers who have been transformed:
Patrick Hiltz: “The YPG Workshop was a great entry-point into a growing network of friends and fellowship. I went in with hopes that I would figure out vocation and career questions, but I came out with peace that God is in control and with friends that were supportive as I work through my questions.”
Tanetta Caleb: ”It was in the Think Tank of YPG that the field of Development was mentioned and I have been interested ever since. In the summer of 2011, I received a certificate from the University Of Richmond in Fundraising and Development. Thank you all for your prayers and love and I will be glad to report the next level. I can’t wait to celebrate what God is doing in all of our lives!”
Miles Morin: ”Although I grew up in the church, going almost every single Sunday - even through college – God ended up using YPG to change my heart and make me a new creation. JC and Lisa have infectious energy and zeal for new life in Christ, and it spilled over into me during the course of the class. It immersed me in fellowship with young people facing the same challenges of culture, philosophy, and false religion that have poisoned our age. I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you have one foot in Christ and the other in the world (as I did) or you are fully committed and are looking to go deeper, find fellowship, or learn more about how to live as a Christian in the world. It was the most valuable class I’ve ever taken because it will pay eternal dividends.”
