For those of you who have attended our remote Zoom classes, since we recalibrated with COVID and started them on April 1st, 2020, we have had amazing times of fellowship, prayer, encouragement and camaraderie, to say the least.  Starting this Wednesday March 3rd at 7 am, we will start a new study called "The Power of Potential", based on the book and study guide that Edwin Louis Cole (CMN Founder) wrote.  We have ordered these books and they will be available with no charge to you.  Please stop by our office in Bend or the Lion's Den in Redmond to pick up your copy!  If you are joining us from a distance we will mail a copy to you.  Please just let us know.  We look forward to seeing you at zoom.us/j/6700065485 this Wednesday March 3rd!

​Gentle Lion Men: If you are ready to meet together at our headquarters office, now is your chance!  Starting tomorrow, March 2nd at 7 AM, we are kicking-off a 4 week series entitled, "Guardrails".  Guardrails are designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas.  They minimize damage by keeping us in the safety zone.  But the highway isn’t the only place we need guardrails.  We need guardrails in our life and hope that you will join us as we get together and dig into this important topic together.  You won't want to miss this helpful class, starting tomorrow at 7 AM at 616 Arizona Ave, Bend, OR 97703.  Social distancing guidelines will be respected. 

Gentle Lion Men: get ready to work on yourself and learn how to be a better husband through the Promise Keepers Marriage Summit.  In this 2-hour event, we’ll discuss the real issues impacting your marriage every day, including communication, respect, and sex from a variety of engaging speakers.  This 3-week challenge that will place you side-by-side with our Gentle Lion men, as you build up your marriages in concrete ways.  On the Promise Keepers app (free in the app store) you'll receive additional marriage resources and practical tools, engage in meaningful discussions and small groups, participate in weekly challenges, and more.  You won't want to miss this great class.  The link to watch the PK Marriage Summit (already viewed by about 100,000 people) is found at: https://youtu.be/PhJOMlmUXY4  Please watch the video based on the corresponding date in preparation for each class.  We will break out the Marriage Summit into three part class series, as follows: ​

• Feb 10, Week 1- Watch from the beginning to min 42:50
• Feb 17, Week 2- Watch from minute 42:50 to 1:18
• Feb 24, Week 3- Watch from hour 1:18 to 1:57 (the end)

Please consider joining our newest 6 week Zoom series, beginning Tuesday February 2nd through March 9th from 7-8 PM. Our discussions will be based on Nancy Leigh DeMoss' book, "Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets them Free." In this first 2021 Series, we will focus on the 5 most common lies we believe about our circumstances (i.e. If my circumstances were different, I would be different.")

So why join?  Many of us have experienced deep defeats and failures, trouble and turmoil, resulting in poor spirits, anger, envy and bitterness and particularly while attempting to navigate through extra 2020 challenges created with COVID and the political atmosphere. The circumstances of this past year have certainly added to our stress and compiled negative reactions, many stemming from lies we have unnecessarily believed all throughout our lives. Our journey will guide us through how God's truth can help change that. So, Gentle Lionesses, together let's GET FREE!

The link for our group call will be the same that we use every week: zoom.us/j/6700065485 We look forward to talking through the content with each of you and sharing what God has been showing each of us, the aspects of our life and how we can encourage each other in our faith, work, marriage, fatherhood, traps, stories and dreams. 

​Dear Gentle Lionesses, on Tuesday October 6th from 7-8 PM our classes restart via Zoom.  We hope that you will join with other women to be encouraged as we dig in and explore the topic of "MOVING BEYOND COPING TOWARD THRIVING DURING EXTRAORDINARY TIMES".  As we progress together through our weekly one hour Tuesday evening sessions, we will learn how to effect practical and realistic positive changes over individual circumstances immediately available to anyone wanting to help themselves and each other (see below details).  Please join us for this virtual class series at: zoom.us/j/6700065485
