Description:
Eirana Support Services AGM – May 4 Eirana invites you to come out and join us for our annual general meeting, on May 4, 2017 at 7pm at Aldergrove Canadian Reformed Church. After a short AGM, we are excited to have Heres Snijder from Anchor Counseling deliver a speech titled “Mind Your Personal Boundaries. Maintaining Relational, Emotional, Spiritual & Sexual Health”. God values clear boundaries. They are like lines that have fallen in pleasant places, when they are appreciated, understood and maintained, (Ps.16:6). Awareness of personal boundary lines helps me define my identity, my responsibility and my privileges. They help clarify necessary space between individuals, define expectations, and show respect for others. Personal boundaries help me say ‘yes’ to the good and ‘no’ to the bad in my relationships with God, others and myself. This evening has 3 goals. First, we will outline basic principles of healthy personal boundaries. Second, we will illustrate with case studies that fuzzy boundaries result in messiah traps, walking-on-eggshells, and conflicts in marriage, family, church or work. Third, we will offer mutual support and encouragement towards the practice and maintenance of healthy boundaries. For reflection on personal boundaries, be encouraged to take a close look at the family histories of Isaac (Genesis 21 -50), David (1 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles), and Jesus (the Gospels). You are cordially invited to come out, join the discussion and share your relational wisdom! Eirana Board – Jacoba Leyenhorst, Lee Bredenhof, Su VanderHorst, Erica Baartman
