Tonight we have a special Frassati Night planned with guest speaker Mary Lenaburg. This talk invites students into an honest Lenten journey shaped by real suffering, deep love and stubborn hope.

As always, join us for prayer in IC Chapel from 7-8 p.m. and the talk will be in the Frassati room from 8-9 p.m.

Sell Your Way to Success:
Nothing moves forward until something is sold. Every interview, promotion, strategy or relationship depends on your ability to influence others. Whether you’re selling a vision, a budget or your own leadership, success comes down to one skill—selling.
This program will highlight the importance of mastering this skill, review the steps of the sales process, how to “Ask” insightful questions to overcome fear, learn how to handle objections and how to get more results and success in your life.
