Have
you thought about becoming an entrepreneur, doing
a business as you are your own boss? Or are you
already a business owner? You may be a professional
copywriter or a musician? Are you a fine arts
painter, or a freelancing artist such as a Web/graphic
designer, an interior/floral designer? You may
be running a daycare service, or doing a business
by walking your clients' dogs?
Join
us at ICanDoEverything.com Business Networking
Circle through Eriko — using word-of-mouth
marketing and the "new marketing" such
as consumer-generated media!

if you are in business AND you know Eriko
personally, contact her directly to have your
business info published on this Website. Secondly,
if you know Eriko through her friends, you can
ask them to forward your requests— absolutely

Directions
to find fulfilling careers...
Purpose:
Helping people at a crossroads in their career
to hear and follow God’s calling. |
|
|
Is
this for you?
If you are at or approaching a crossroads
in your career, the answer is YES!
You may be starting your career, seeking
a job, changing careers, or seeking
God’s will. You may be misemployed,
unemployed, or even super-employed
and looking for more. You simply may
be wondering what to do about your
job situation.
In all these cases, we invite you
to think of yourself as an explorer.
Ready for adventure! Looking to the
future! That doesn’t mean you
will change jobs. But you might want
to explore a little bit. You want
to look before you actually considering
leaping.
Wherever you are in the process, our
prayer is that you hear God’s
calling and follow Him, having been
a good steward of this opportunity
to explore direction through a crossroads
in your career.
Who
are we?

members or regular attendees of the

Listen
for God’s calling when you come to
career crossings:
"Stand at the crossroads and look.
Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the
good ways is and walk in it, and you will
find rest for your souls." Jeremiah
6:16
"The
magic of this (the wonder of God’s
guiding hand) is that I would have turned
down the job had I not attended Crossroads.
It was less money (on the surface) than
I had been seeking, and it was a much further
drive than I had thought I would be willing
to make. But it had the secret ingredient
I had just discovered in Crossroads; I needed
–HAD TO HAVE– a sense of participating
in something that was contributing to lives
in a very positive way." Trisha,
Career Explorer

Celebrate
Recovery
|
|
 |
Christ-Centered
Recovery for People with Addictions,
Compulsions, or Condependencies
Thursdays • 7:00
p.m. at Grace Church, Eden Prairie
In the Underground
(M023)
(Enter through the Door #4 entrance and
take stairs or elevator to Garden Level)
www.atgrace.com/celebrate-recovery
Purpose:
The purpose of Celebrate Recovery at Grace
Church is to fellowship and celebrate God’s
healing power in our lives through the 12
Steps and 8 Recovery Principles. This experience
allows us to “be changed.” We
open the door by sharing our experiences,
strengths, and hopes with one another.
In
addition, we become willing to accept God’s
grace in solving our problems. By working
and applying these biblical principles,
we begin to grow spiritually. We become
free from our addictive, compulsive, and
dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates
peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly,
a stronger personal relationship with God
and others. As we progress through the program
we discover our personal, loving, and forgiving
Higher Power – Jesus Christ! For questions, more
information, or to volunteer in this ministry,
contact Jon at jsorenson@atgrace.com
or 952-224-3039.
