Nick Bartlow | Rm. 306 Do you find yourself busy but not
productiove? Are you ever stretched too thin? Do you ever feel like your time is hijacked by another's agenda? Consider becoming an Essentialist.
Doctrine of Discovery | Mike Lassiter | Rm. 505 This will interest anyone who believes advocacy is part of being a disciple and for those planning to go to South Dakota on mission this year.

The Advantage | Blane Baker | Rm. 303 Last fall, a panel
