One of the core messages of the gospel is that of total forgiveness. Learn how you can experience incredible freedom through this amazing class.

Total Forgiveness by R.T. Kendall. "This is a book that should be read around the world." writes the late D. James Kennedy. When everything in you wants to hold a grudge, point a finger and remember the pain, God wants you to lay it all aside. BUT HOW! and WHY? Through this class you will discover that true inner peace awaits you! You can avoid spiritual quicksand and experience the incredible freedom found in total forgiveness.

Is total forgiveness easy? Of course not. . . but this class will give you a game plan. .. and the encouragement to cast out areas of unforgiveness that have kept you from enjoying the best God has to offer you.

Join facilitator Kim Wallace for this powerful class.

Learn what forgiveness is and what it is not.
Uncover the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences of unforgiveness.
See why God adamantly encourages you and I to forgive others.

"Until we understand the beauty and freedom we have through the gift of being forgiven and forgiving, I don't believe we can walk in victory or joy. These principles have transformed my walk of love with God and others." Lenchen Raeside, Executive Director - House of Hope.

Join Dr. Melody Graham as she explores the often times frightening terrain of child rearing. Melody will share practical ways you and I can break our negative response patterns to our children as well as ways to train our children to walk as Christ walked. This class will also include very practical ways of behavior modification through changes in sleep and eating habits.
