Thrive...in a Minute
THRIVE Summer Bible Study - Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer
The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer 
All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you - unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you're tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer's inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory. (7 Sessions)

L et Prayer Change Your Life 
 
Prayer Study  
Every Wednesday, starting June 22-July 20th (5 weeks) from 10-11 a.m. in Room C-2 , we invite you to join with other women of Valley for a DVD series called "Let Prayer Change Your Life." by Becky Tirabassi. Come and be blessed and encouraged on how to pray and why prayer is so powerful. There will be No workbook or homework, but hopefully you will be impassioned to pray more. 


This  study is offered during the 5-9th grade summer program for kids here at Valley Church.We are also offering childcare in Room C-3, for these 5 weeks from 10-noon for the video followed by prayer time. Let us know if you are in need of childcare and the child's age/s.

Prayer Time 
Every Wednesday, starting June 15-July 27th (7 weeks) from 11 a.m.-noon in Room C-2 we will be praying for our church, families, marriages, country, etc. Please come even if you are not comfortable praying out loud. I've been there. Public prayer time is now some of the sweetest and most powerful fellowship I experience. It will be a safe place to listen, learn, and talk to God with others.
Come whenever you can and for as long as you can. Invite a friend and spread the word! Peace in life comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and is solidified as we submit ourselves to Him through prayer, confession, and being in His Word. Come and be spurred on to seek, listen, and obey. Don't miss out. 
 
Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened."
 
Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
 
Come and we will ask to together!
He will answer abundantly!
And we will give HIM all the Glory!
