What if Godhas

for yourdreams

Corban Universitypresents

February 26, 2011a one-day retreat featuring

Robin Jones Gunnauthor of the Christy Miller, Sisterchicks® and Katie Welden books

8:30 a.m.–4 p.m.Psalm Performing arts Center Corban University

have the sense that your life is not quite what you

thought it would be? You long to live an abundant life, but somewhere along the way your hopes and dreams have been derailed. But what if God is the one who planted those dreams in your heart when He created you? What if God really does have more dreams for you? How do you step out of the wreckage or boredom of life in this fallen world and fully become the woman God created you to be?

Romans 8:15 encourages us not to fall back into fear, but instead—with anticipation and excitement—to step forward into what God has in store for us as his daughters.

Robin Jones Gunn,

Christian author of the Christy Miller, Sisterchicks ® and Katie Weldon books, has won numerous awards for her best-selling novels. Her

70 books have sold four million copies and include the Glenbrook series, Sierra Jensen series, Christy & Todd: the College Years, and Mrs. Rosey Posey series. When her children were young, Robin would rise at 3 a.m. when the house was quiet, make a pot of tea and write pages and pages about Christy and Todd. Now that her children are grown and her husband has a new career as a counselor, Robin travels and continues to write stories about best friends and God-lovers.

ScheduleCaring for the ElderlyPresenter: Emily Butler-Morton

If you are considering a future in assisted senior living—for your parents or even yourself—this session will help you

make a wise decision. Questions such as who should live in a senior living community, how to know when it is time and how to actually make the move will be addressed. We will also cover facing the many choices, red flags, and obstacles.

Emily Butler-Morton is a Corban graduate, with a B.S. in Psychology. She has a certificate in Gerontology from the Univ. of California Riverside and a 25-year career in marketing to seniors and their families. Author of Care Enough to Know—Keep Your Parents Safe, Emily has conducted seminars and workshops across the U.S. to seniors, adult children and other concerned family members. She and her husband live in Talent, Oregon, and she currently works as the Marketing Director at Avamere at Waterford in Medford, Ore.

ContentmentPresenter: Anne Jeffers

Often a student will say, “I can’t wait until I graduate and begin really living.” If it isn’t graduation, retirement,

vacation or the weekend, it is something else for which we are waiting. How can we learn to be content in the season of life in which we live? Contentment is a learned virtue, and this session will address the process.

Anne has worked at Corban for 39 years. Her experience has been in education as an elementary teacher and administrator, and as a college instructor and administrator. She has a burden for women of all ages to be all that God has created and gifted them to be. She is a wife of 60 years, mother and grandmother and an active member of Bethany Baptist Church, Salem.

Fitness MythsPresenter: Shannon Simmons

No pain, no gain? Walking is for wimps? Feel the burn? Dr. Simmons will help you separate the fitness MYTHS from

fitness FACTS as she shares how to get healthy the smart way. Learn what is ‘hype’ and learn how to live a healthier life that can last the test of time and myths.

Dr. Shannon Simmons is the Assistant Professor of Human Performance at Corban. She received her M.S. from CA Univ of Pennsylvania and her DHSc A.T. from Still University. She is a wife and mother of two and is actively involved in the worship ministry at Salem Alliance Church. She writes for the Statesman Journal and Race Center magazine and is a member of American College of Sports Medicine and The National Academy of Sports Medicine. She is passionate about fitness and loves to run in the country, enjoying God’s beautiful masterpiece.

The Inside Scoop: A Look Inside the Life of a Pastor’s WifePresenters: Marcy Baker and Janelle Hearne

Marcy and Janelle will open their hearts as they share the privileges and challenges of being the wife of a ministry leader. Learn what they need from you with regard to prayer, acceptance, emotional support, family life and friendship.

Marcy and Janelle are wives of pastors at Bethany Baptist Church in Salem. They each have four boys (all their names start with the letter J!). They both enjoy reading, spending time with their boys, going to dinner and a movie with their husbands, family vacations, and ministering to women. Marcy works at Salem Clinic as a phlebotomist. Janelle is a stay at home mom.

How to Get the Job You Really WantPresenter: Colleen Cowan

Many women are choosing to re-enter the workplace after managing households from home for many years. If you

think you have no skills, no work history, or are just stuck in a job that is going nowhere, then this is the class for you. Learn the three qualities employers are looking for, how to communicate through your cover letter and resume, and the most important 60 seconds of your interview. If you are currently employed, learn the easiest way to get recognized and promoted. God has a plan for your life! In this time of economic uncertainty and fear, this session will help you acquire the confidence to navigate that plan.

Colleen Cowan and her husband Mark are both Corban alums (’82 & ‘81). Colleen re-entered the workforce after 16 years at home raising her children and running a profitable home childcare service. She is currently the office manager at Hoover Elementary School and was previously a Youth Transition Specialist helping young adults discover their strengths and transition from high school to paid employment and/or college.

Parenting with Love and LogicPresenter: Dawn Mathews

Tired of arguing with your kids? Tired of those eternal power-struggles? Tired of being responsible for your

kids’ responsibilities? Learn an overview of the concepts that take the anger, arguing, and power-struggles out of parenting dynamics while raising responsible, respectful children. We will look at the main concepts taught in Love and Logic, and will provide you with a few tools to try at home.

Dawn Mathews is a school counselor at Miller Elementary School in Salem. She is the proud mother of her 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter. She has been teaching Love and Logic classes for the last three years for the parents at her school.

Photography 101: Taking Better PicturesPresenter: Jessica Marple

Would you like to improve your everyday photos? Learn photography tips and tricks through the use of framing,

composition, color, lighting and other techniques. Information and ideas shared will be applicable to a wide range of cameras and photo subjects.

Jessica is a graphic designer and staff photographer for Corban. Her photography has been featured in the Psalm Visual Arts Gallery and at the Oregon State Fair. She does freelance portrait photography and loves photographing nature in her free time.

Riding the Waves in a Sea of ChangePresenter: Lee Ann Zanon

If there’s one thing we can count on, it’s that things are going to change. While some women rejoice in that

reality, others resist it however they can. Whatever our response, this workshop will help us discover biblical truths that can bring calm in the midst of chaos—a place of peace when we are unsettled or uncertain. We’ll explore what it means to hang on tightly to the Lord, and become “wave-riding” women of faith!

Lee Ann Zanon teaches in the ministry department at Corban, and has served in women’s ministries for 25 years. Whether through Bible studies, retreats, prayer groups, worship, outreach, or mentoring, she loves encouraging women in their faith. She and her husband Mike have been married 28 years, and they have two adult daughters. The past 18 months have brought many changes to her life, and she has learned, more than ever, to cling to the Lord as her Rock!

Breakout SessionsSpiritual DisciplinePresenter: Karen Pease

Does the term “spiritual discipline” leave you feeling hopeless and wishing you could go to a seminar on napkin

folding instead? Do you think you have a better chance of losing 20 pounds in the next two weeks than becoming a spiritually fit person? Feel like you don’t pray enough? Read your Bible enough? Sit on a mountain and contemplate your naval enough? The Bible has good news for you! Come to this seminar and fellowship with fellow failures who, at the heart of it all, want a deeper relationship with Christ.

Karen Pease is an intercultural studies graduate of Corban. For seven years, she taught English in Chinese universities and hotels, and then returned to the U.S. to attend Corban University School of Ministry (formerly Northwest Baptist Seminary). In 2005, she graduated with her Master’s of Theological Studies degree. Since then, she has worked in the admissions department, promoting the need for further theological training. She has also continued working with the international community. Her greatest joy is to see people come to know Jesus Christ more fully and experience his love and grace more deeply.
