Ladies Open Door Bible Study has started via ZOOM on Mondays @ 8:15pm | Tuesdays @ 9:30am. We started a new study last week called Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts by Jennie Allen. It is based on the book of Philippians and we encourage you to read through the book of Philippians each week (it’s only 6 chapters so you can do it!). What a great time to be on guard with our thoughts when there is so much swirling around us! This study is on RightNow Media and is six sessions long. We are watching one session each week on our own and then join a zoom meeting to discuss what we learned. It’s not too late to join in! Go ahead and watch sessions 1 & 2! For access to RightNow Media, test”RIGHTNOW FBCDANVILLE” to 41411. PLEASE CONTACT HEATHER HESS TO SIGN UP FOR THE CLASS OF YOUR CHOICE (570) 854-1492 – or – wfhesshome@aol.com. She will then send you the link to the Zoom meeting as well as the weekly discussion questions. The book will not be necessary for this study but is a great read! If you’d like to order it, you can find it at jennieallen.com and Amazon.

WHO IS WALT MUELLER?
Dr. Walt Mueller is the founder and President of the Center for Parent/Youth. Understanding, a non-profit organization serving schools, churches, and community organizations across the U.S, Canada, and worldwide in their efforts to strengthen families by helping those who know and love children and teens to understand today’s rapidly changing youth culture.
Walt’s educational background includes research and studies in the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, theology, and postmodern generations.
Walt and his wife Lisa live in Elizabethtown – the home base of CPYU – and they have four grown children and five grandchildren.
Walt wants people to know that his greatest joys have come as a dad. He is not an expert on any of these issues, but rather sees himself as a fellow struggler with other parents and grandparents who are endeavoring to understand the world of kids in order to provide solid guidance and direction in the midst of a very confusing world.
SOME OF THE TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED:
- Cultural Forces Influencing Children and Teens
- Understanding Popular Music and Media
- Children, Materialism and Parental Pressure
- Understanding Negative Peer Pressure
- Raising Love-Sane Kids in a Sex-Crazed World
