Title: Living the Word: How to Memorize Scripture with Purpose

Speaker: Rochelle Visser

Recording available on ReFresh

Description:

As believers, we rely on God’s Word to remind us of His truth and goodness. But let’s face it—memorizing scripture isn’t always easy, and we don’t always have a Bible handy when we need it most.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to an interactive webinar with Rochelle Visser, where she’ll share a simple, step-by-step process for creating tunes and motions to memorize God’s Word.

During this hands-on session, Rochelle will guide you through practicing the motions so you can confidently use them yourself and teach them to the girls in your club.

Don’t miss this opportunity to turn scripture memorization into a joyful and impactful experience for you and the girls you lead!

Title: Watercolor & Worship: Embracing Creativity and Loving God’s Word

Speaker: Bethany Norris

Recording available on ReFresh

Description:

There is more than one way to worship God. While singing is a beautiful form of worship, others might find journaling or hiking in God’s creation a meaningful way to worship.

Through this inspiring webinar, Bethany Norris will explain a theology of worship and introduce watercolor as a creative way of worship. This step-by-step guide offers you a different approach to worship that will enhance your personal time with the Lord, grow your love for His Word, and increase the joy in your relationship with Him.

You don’t have to be an artist or have any painting skills to enjoy this opportunity to creatively express your worship to the King of Kings. Once you learn it for yourself, it could be a meaningful activity to share with your GEMS girls.
