NO SOLICITING PLEASE (businesses or causes)
The holidays are quickly approaching and this is a great time for home businesses to gain some much needed profit, but I would please ask you to not solicit your classes or the Body of PWOC at the Chapel or through email lists you have due to your membership in a class.  There are many reasons why we cannot solicit in the Chapel, it is a federal building for one, but even soliciting Free Christian events need to be cleared through the Chapel by Malissa. We would love to allow you to place your home business info in our binder to share with the ladies at their leisure.  If you have a specific cause you want to promote we will have a ministry fair in February where you can voice your support of a good cause per approval of the Chapel.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Malissa ord@pwoc.org .

BOUNDARIES WITH KIDS
Cloud and Townsend
What the Award-Winning Boundaries Has Done for Adult Relationships Boundaries with Kids Will Do for You and Your Children Here at last is the help you need for raising your kids to take responsibility for their actions, attitudes, and emotions. Drs.

LOGGING ON TO COURAGE . CALM
Rebecca Shirey and Christine Wood
Loggingontocourage.calm leads you to discover the qualities of Biblical characters who lived courageously in their times because belief in God shaped their choices. Just like the characters in this study, you will be challenged to see your opportunities for courage in simple terms of trusting God, and you will be encouraged to release your abilities to God for a purpose larger than yourself. This six lesson study incorporates both personal study and group sessions designed to foster discipleship behavior.

LOVE LANGUAGES OF GOD
Gary Chapman
The best-selling author of The Five Love Languages series has written a book EVERYONE should read! Once you discover your primary love language in human relationships, you can assume that will be your primary love language in your relationship with God. Whether we are speaking to God or He is speaking to us – we are feeling God’s love and presence most strongly in one particular way. By teaching readers to tap into that divine love, Dr. Chapman helps them relate to God in a way that will totally revolutionize their will to love one another. CONTINUED FROM QUARTER ONE .

HAVING A MARY HEART IN A MARTHA WORLD
