*Leaders Natalie DeStefano & Monica Duque* We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best "me" I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives--our friendships, our marriages, even our faith--and it breaks each one in different ways. The self-focused life robs our joy, shrinks our souls, and is the reason we never quite break free of insecurity. In this 5 week video study we will learn a bigger, Jesus-centered vision--one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more. This group meets at Tower Hill’s Connect Center on Fridays at 10am with leaders Monica Duque and Natalie DeStefano. *For Women*

We often face circumstances that we cannot change: a job we are forced to keep; a relationship that did not work out; a decision we cannot take back.

With the help of 4 “lenses”, she shows how to access God’s perspective on our circumstances, which can impact the way we live.

*Leaders Bill Wheeler & Louise Manganiello* Do your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions? James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn't impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person's life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian.
