Legacy Dinner Club
Legacy Dinner Club offers women an opportunity to establish relationships with other women who share the same season or station in life. The Dinner Club is a nine-month commitment; once a month for three hours. The season goes from September through May. Women meet for dinner, fellowship, instruction, and prayer.
Dinner Club is offered on the second Monday of each month at First Baptist Church of Orlando, 3000 S. John Young Parkway.
The focus of the Sixth Annual Legacy Dinner Club season will be "Strong Women...Soft Hearts" The topics will focus on three key areas of a woman's life. The first meeting will be held on Monday, September 14, 2009, from 6:30-9:30pm.
Registration deadline is Tuesday, September 8, 2009.
Strong Woman...Soft Heart
These four words have challenged me to think more clearly about my personal life. How do I build a strong life? What is a soft heart? Our days are challenging, for sure. But if we are to live well and sustain our passion and personal growth over our lifetime then we must fully comprehend God's desire and plan for our lives.What does strength look like? Is it success? Is it power? Is it overbearing and aggressive? Or is it a woman who is tender to the voice of her God and understands how to build her life in order to be strong for her family and influence others with intention and passion.
John Eldridge says, "Christian women don't need to do more, they need to get their hearts back." Where is your heart? What are your heart's longings? So often we are weakened by our own misconceptions of God and the negative influence of others in our lives.
This season in Dinner Club the focus will be building a strong life, while at the same time nurturing a soft heart. The journey to understanding our hearts must first begin with God. We will seek to unpack several key truths that will open the door for an intimate look at the Father. When our hearts are aligned with God's heart we will be strong. Ken Gire says, "When you find your heart, you will find what is dear to God. And when you find what is dear to God, you will find the answer to how you should live your life." When we find our life purpose it will help us live better and love our family and others more fully.
Each month there will be different biblical passages that will be used in the teachings.
Strong Faith
September - The Journey of Our Heart
We must be awakened to see our calling as more than just accomplishing our day-to-day tasks. God has placed in each of us a desire, a calling, and a plan that ONLY HE can fill. Our souls must be awakened.
God has fashioned each one of us with gifts, talents, and strengths. When we discover our place in HIS grand scheme, and begin working in the areas we love, then we will find incredible strength. God is the Director of our song, and we are the instruments that HE uses to bring beautiful music to His creation. When we come together under HIS direction and play what He directs, the symphony is GLORIOUS! Do you know which chair is yours in the orchestra?
Strong Family
December - You are a Priority!
Often times we do not take time to build our lives. In order for us to be strong we each must make personal growth a priority. We know this, but do we do it? The flight attendants' words are ringing loud and clear: "In the event the cabin loses pressure and oxygen is needed, apply the oxygen mask first to yourself before helping a child." Where is your air coming from? Do you know what you must do to be strong for yourself? This month we will look at principles that MUST be understood in order to be a Strong Woman with a Soft Heart. You cannot ignore tending first to your own heart if you are going to lead others.
January - Our Role in Marriage
We struggle with submission. From the garden woman has always wanted to be in control. Strength in marriage, or even in male relationships, is not aggressive or overbearing. It is understanding that we have the incredible opportunity to show the feminine side of God. We are life-givers and nurtures by nature. When our hearts are soft, tenderness to our spouse will be sign of strength.February - Loving Your Children
Strong Friendships
March - True-Faced - Are we really who we say we are?
Often times the tension we face walking with others is because we know how we are suppose to behave, but so rarely do. We live in the realm of good intentions, only to constantly be frustrated that our beliefs and actions do not match up. If we are called to influence others, then what is the story of our lives that we must tell? We must be transparent and vulnerable in order for others to understand us and to experience grace, forgiveness, and power. We will focus on understanding authenticity in our relationships.
April - Taking a Risk
This season you have been challenged to see your life differently. Women everywhere are feeling defeated and weak. Will you be vulnerable and reach out to share truths that you have learned in order for them to be strong? God has called each is us to touch lives for HIS glory. On the road to heaven we each have the opportunity to invite others to travel with us. We can only take people with us, so whom have you invited in for the ride? Are you intentional about seeking to build relationships in order to influence lives?
May - The Journey is Over - Celebration
Every season must come to an end. As you look back over the last nine months can you see how your life has changed? Are you a stronger woman? Is your heart more tender to the things of God and toward others? We will celebrate the journey together and prepare for what is next.| Single payment of $190.00 | Two payments of $100.00 | |
