Boundaries - Having clear boundaries is essential to following after God.  All too often, however, Christians focus so much on being judged as loving and unselfish that they fail to follow God’s unique call upon their life.  Living for the praise and approval of men, they forfeit God’s best.  How do I answer someone who requests my time, love, energy, or money, when God has not led me to say “yes” to their request?  Jesus said, “No man takes my life, I lay my life down freely”.  Learn how to walk in the freedom of allowing God to determine how your life is spent (your life belongs to Him) rather than trying to please men (and so become their slave). 
Pre-registration highly recommended.  Group limited to first 20 participants that pre-register.  Group closes to new participants after 2nd week. Materials:  “Boundaries” by Henry Cloud and John Townsend, book & workbook - $28
