NEW! Women’s Bible Study

Imagine if Jesus pulled up in a U-Haul and moved into the house next door. In the book, Next Door Savior, this is exactly what happens as author Max Lucado takes readers on a journey into Jesus’ neighborhood. And remember, no matter where you live, you have a next door Savior who loves you more than you can ever imagine. That’s the greatest news of all. Facilitated by Gina Kennedy and Debbie Benner in Room 301.

NEW! Life Lessons

Has your peace been stolen? Dreams crushed? Hope lost? The Apostle Peter knew what it was like to go through tough times. His words of wisdom provide encouragement for believers going through the hard times of life. This summer we’ll continue our study of Max Lucado’s book on 1 & 2 Peter by studying Lessons 7, 8, and 9 that focus on Joyful Service, Trusting God Through Trials, and Humility. Facilitated by Don and Joyce Kronmueller in Room 310.

CLASSES @ 10:10 a.m.

NEW! How to Have More Than Enough

In this book written by Dave Ramsey, we will look at 10 character traits of people who have more than enough. Here are just a few: value system, vision, hope and desire to give. Join us as we discover how to have more than just FINANCES and do a little self-evaluation. Facilitated by Margaret & Michael Andes in Room 304.

Contemporary Believers

What will heaven be like? Randy Alcorn’s book, Heaven, presents a thoroughly biblical answer, based on years of careful study, presented in an engaging, reader-friendly style. His conclusions will surprise readers and stretch their thinking about this important subject. Heaven will inspire readers to long for heaven while they’re living on earth. Facilitated by Russ Cline in the Lecture Hall (Room 330).

NEW! Intimate Marriage

What is a boundary? It is a property line. It is the beginning and the end. Boundaries are important in our marriage relations because they define the person. Boundaries give each partner a sense of ownership of him/herself. Drawing on principles from the Bible, this study of Boundaries of Marriage will safeguard against relational breaks. It is never too late or too early to draw boundaries and respect your spouse’s boundaries. Facilitated by Tricia Kelsey in Rooms 305/306.

FOR MEN: Keeping God Real

Bring whatever has been pressing on your life during the week—business, work, world events, relationships. Significant discussion in the light of Scripture. Bring your Bible. We’ve got the coffee. You have friends here. Facilitated by Terry McCarty in Room 303.

Seekers of the Word

Join us as we come to know God better through the study of His Word. During the summer months we will be concluding our study in Exodus and continuing on into John’s letters, considering what he has to say about our response to God’s love. Does God still reveal His Word to us? Welcome. This is a great time to jump in. Facilitated by Bill and Pam Carpenter in Room 311.

NEW! The Living Room

Have you ever wondered what we can learn from the victim in the story of the Good Samaritan? Have you ever asked what if God threw a party and no one came? Parables From The Back Side looks at these questions and offers a new understanding of twelve of Jesus’ parables by viewing them through the eyes of a minor or unsympathetic character. Begins Sun., June 28. Facilitated by Dennis and Barbara Bass in Room 301.

CLASSES @ 11:15 a.m.

NEW! Just Walk Across the Room

Somebody you care about wants to know about God and your faith and you freeze and don’t know what to say. You don’t want to mess it up or be wrong. What do you say? Deep inside you are concerned about friends in your life who do not have a living faith...how can you tell them? This class introduces some easy and powerful tools that can engage your heart to reach your friends and enable them to get “connected to Jesus Christ.” Open to all. Begins Sun., June 14. Facilitated by Clay Withers in Room 305.

Sermon Rewind

You just listened to the pastor in worship. Now come sit with others and discover how God reveals different things to each of us from the same sermon! Hear the message through someone else’s life-filter. The message continues…come…give it a try! Facilitated by Paula Higbee in Room 303.

NEW! Good Soil

This singles group will study He Loves Me! Learning to Live In The Father’s Affection by Wayne Jacobsen. Do you believe God’s love is sometimes fickle or determined by our behavior? Jacobsen reassures seekers and insecure Christians that God’s relentless grace is based on who we are—His beloved creation—not what we do. Learn how to live consciously and confidently in the Father’s ever-present love! Includes questions for reflection and discussion. Facilitated by Justin Torbert in Room 311.

DOCTOR

QUACK DOCTOR

This superb print is a reproduction of an original 1802 painting which satirized the quack doctors of the time. The bewigged doctor describes himself as a 'Physic for Man and Horse!', and the signage around him proclaims, inter alia,: Pills for Members of Parliament' Scabdal Drops for Old Maids' Young Husband Pills for Widows' Lawyers Elixir - Very Bracing in Term Time' Orthodox Snuff for Gentlemen of the Pulpit' Pills of Forgetfulness for Contracters' Speculation Drops for Stock Jobbers' Oil of Almonds for Gentlemen of the Bar' Pills of Promise for Money Lenders' At 16 x 20 inches it is a large print, beautifully coloured, and looks stunning in a frame.

About George Woodward George Woodward was born in 1760 and is known today as one of the founding fathers of British satire. Along with James Gillray, Thomas Rowlandson and Robert Cruikshank, Woodward made a living as a caricaturist and cartoonist, often depicting medical subjects. He died in 1809.

DENTIST

In the wake of the Industrial Revolution the population swiftly developed a thirst for knowledge about the myriad of new goods and ideas that were becoming available. But before the days of television, newspaper advertising and junk mail how did people get to know about everything? Over a million people solved the problem by buying a copy of this book which caused a publishing sensation in Victorian Britain. Because it explained so much about so many different aspects of life it continues to provide a very enjoyable and informative peep into the lifestyle of our forebears. In 2775 entries the enquiring Victorian learns how to tell if food is fresh and when it is in season; how to dance; the difference between local dialects; correcting grammar and spelling; the rules of games and puzzles; hints on etiquette; kitchen and household hints and recipes; cures for scores of ailments including rheumatism and baldness; the origins of Christian names; first aid; employment and rental regulations; keeping fit; dressmaking and embroidery; births, marriages and deaths; personal conduct as well as scores of others.

We know when and where the Victorians lived, this fascinating book explains much about how they lived and it was the world wide web of its day.

Curious fact: Tim Berners-Lee was inspired to invent the World Wide Web after seeing a copy of this book. He even named the early versions of the web ‘Enquire’ after it.

A wrongful death

A wrongful death is when a person’s death is caused by third party negligence or recklessness. When a person is wrongfully killed, it is always very traumatic, especially for the wrongful death victim’s family. In cases involving wrongful death, the victim’s death is not expected, which can make the loss more overwhelming for family members. Aside from their grief, families must contend with new obligations, and may face financial hardship. Fortunately, the law protects families of wrongful death victims by allowing them to file a wrongful death claim to recover damages for their losses.

Wrongful Death Claim
In the state of Florida, family members such as spouses, children, or parents may file a wrongful death claim if they have wrongfully lost a loved one due to third party negligence or recklessness. A family member may file a wrongful death claim to recover monetary compensation for:

• the deceased’s funeral expenses
• the deceased’s medical expenses
• lost financial income
• loss of companionship
• loss of emotional support
• emotional pain and suffering

In order for the family member to file a wrongful death claim, he/she must meet certain requirements. The family member must be of the legal age and the family member must be able to prove that he/she lost his/her loved one as a result of third party negligence. Wrongful death claims are extremely complex and time sensitive. For this reason, any family member wishing to file a claim should seek representation from a skilled personal injury attorney who has successfully handled prior wrongful death cases.

Jacksonville Personal Injury Law Firm – Wrongful Death

Our goal is to successfully represent families who have wrongfully lost their loved ones throughout Jacksonville, Florida.

If you have lost a loved one due to wrongful death, call the Law Office of Patrick Kelly today at (904) 398-6353!

WRONG FULL DEATH

The loss of a loved one can be an extremely difficult experience, made even more painful when it is the result of someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct.

When a person dies as a result of someone else's negligence, a wrongful death claim ensues. A wrongful death suit addresses the tragedy of the loss of a loved one, by holding individuals or companies who are responsible accountable.

If you have lost a loved one as the result of a fatal car crash or another kind of wrongful death, our firm will treat you with the compassion and understanding needed during your difficult time.
AUTO ACCIEDENT

Each time you enter a motor vehicle you are exposed to the possibility of an accident. Motor vehicle accidents can range from minor to catastrophic. In addition, motor vehicle accidents involve complex insurance issues, which can involve multiple insurance companies. As insurance companies hire experienced adjusters and attorneys to defend their interests, an injured accident victim needs aggressive representation by an experienced attorney to protect their rights as well. Our attorneys have an excellent understanding of the intricacies of New York’s No-Fault Law, as well as Underinsured and Uninsured Motorist Coverage issues.

It is therefore important to hire a qualified attorney to perform a thorough investigation, obtain all insurance benefits and ensure that you are adequately compensated.

Bragoli and Associates, P.C. has represented thousands of automobile accident victims, securing multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts for our clients. Whether you have sustained a soft tissue injury, multiple fractures or other types of trauma, you deserve and require outstanding legal representation. If you or a loved one has been involved in an automobile accident, please contact our office.
SLIP & FALL

Property owners are legally required to keep their property in a safe and hazardous-free condition. They must also warn others of any potentially hazardous conditions on their property.

Premises injuries can occur in office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, lots, hospitals, parking structures, apartment buildings and schools among other places. Premises accidents can result in substantial financial expenses, including lost wages and outstanding medical bills.

Bragoli and Associates, P.C., has represented thousands of victims of premises accidents successfully. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip/trip and fall accident, contact our premises liability attorneys.

CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT

Construction workers are exposed to a wider variety of hazards and face a greater risk of work-related injury or fatality than employees in any other U.S. industry. Construction accidents may include, but are not limited to, roof-related falls, scaffolding accidents, lifting equipment failure, fires and explosions, trench collapses, crane collapses, compressed gases accidents and welding accidents.

If you have sustained an injury while working on a construction site, you may be entitled to seek monetary compensation from the party at fault. New York personal injury law allows victims of negligence to file a civil lawsuit against liable parties to recover damages for their medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain and emotional suffering.

New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241, are known as the "safe place to work" or the "scaffold" laws. These sections state that if a worker is injured in a New York construction accident as a result of falling from a height, or as the result of being hit with something that falls from a height, the owner and the contractor are responsible. This is true whether or not the worker was at fault or refused to use safety equipment. These laws exist to make certain that all workers have a safe place to work, especially on construction sites.

If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of a construction accident, contact Bragoli and Associates, P.C., the construction accident attorneys.

PRODUCT LIABILITY

Design defects, marketing defects and manufacturing defects can pose threats of injury to innocent consumers. Improper warnings or instructions on a product's packaging or manufacturer’s failure to warn can cause injuries to the person using the product. The results of product liability accidents may cause long lasting effects on the victim, either physically, emotionally, or financially. If you or a loved one has been a victim of a defective product, contact our attorneys.

WRONGFULL DEATH

Although no amount of money can replace the loss of a family member, monetary compensation is the only way our civil justice system allows for redress of a wrong that caused death. Our firm will provide surviving family members a sensitive and confidential consultation. After suffering such a loss it is essential to have the advice of an experienced attorney to explain what should be done first in pursuing a claim for wrongful death.

While you are grieving, you should not make any major decisions which will limit any future recoveries without consulting an attorney. You should not enter into any settlement, sign any release or accept any money in exchange for releasing an individual, corporation or insurance company from liability without first knowing what insurance coverage or other redress is available to you and your family.We have represented the families of victims who have lost their lives due to the negligence of other individuals or corporations. Wrongful Death claims could include deaths due to car accidents, use of a defective product, negligent treatment by doctors, or any other situations in which someone else is at fault.

As with all other areas of law handled by Piccin & Glynn, you do not pay any attorney's fees or costs until we reach a full and fair settlement or a final judgment against the insurance company.

CANADIAN ASBESTOS INJURY CLAIM LAWYER

There are serious long term consequences of exposure to asbestos. Some of these have only recently appeared. The diseases include asbestosis, certain forms of lung cancer and the condition of mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs known as the mesothelium. Mesothelioma can develop 30 or even more years after exposure to asbestos. These very serious conditions affect people who have worked with asbestos, had loose fibres in their workplace (even from asbestos removal) and people who have been exposed by their family members who may have come home from a hard days work covered in asbestos.

If a loved one has developed one of these conditions and is seriously ill or has died due to asbestos exposure it can easily be proven with medical records. Doctors should be able to confirm causation by asbestos when the diagnosis is made. Compensation is available for Canadians from a number of U.S. trusts set up for that purpose. We need to know the source of exposure to asbestos for us to determine which manufacturer was involved and where the claim may be placed. We do not handle claims related to removal of asbestos from homes or other properties.

Contact the Miskin Professional Corporation Law Offices of Whitby, Peterborough and Toronto, Ontario for information on making a claim. Email miskinlaw@aol.com or call 416-492-0989 from the Toronto area or 877-428-8000 from elsewhere in Canada. You can have us as your lawyers here in Canada and get compensation from the trusts set up to pay claims on behalf of the former asbestos manufacturers. We are working in partnership with experienced reputable lawyers in the U.S. to ensure that Canadians get fair compensation equal to what is available to Americans payable in US dollars. Generally, we need to know the source of asbestos exposure and there has to be significant illness not just fear of future illness to make a successful claim. Cases are handled with contingency fee agreements which include a one third fee shared by the lawyers involved on your behalf. That means you pay nothing until and unless money is received for your claims. Settlements are in US dollars, which now is to our benefit when converted to Canadian dollars. We include the tax in our share of the one third contingency fee so you will not pay extra GST or HST if you live in a Province where the harmonized tax applies. We note that in Ontario this will otherwise add 8% provincial tax to legal fees starting July 2010. Additional cases are being accepted and submitted from clients across Canada. Often we can get clients compensation from more than one settlement trust depending on the source of the asbestos exposure. We are starting to see some large cheques come in for our clients and faster processing of claims. If you are not eligible for Worker's Compensation we can get you compensation. The right to bring a claim may be taken away or reduced by receipt of Workers Compensation Benefits so do let us know details of any WCB or WSIB claims when you first contact us. The Boards have brought U.S. claims for a number of Canadians and where that was already done we can not bring a claim again. Often the Compensation Boards keep all of the money that they recover from U.S. claims as reimbursement for what they paid to the injured worker. We are consulting with the Compensation Boards in different provinces to ensure that our clients actually receive maximum compensation from all sources. In some Provinces Workers' Compensation Boards have allowed us to proceed directly for clients with claims to the asbestos funds where the Boards have rights to make those claims.

We are the leading firm representing Canadians in every province and territory injured by the drug Vioxx, and Murray Miskin has been a lawyer in Ontario practising personal injury law for over 30 years. His first work with Canadian asbestos claims was in 1979. We are settling asbestos injury claims and getting compensation for our clients. Trust us to treat you and your family with compassion and get you results.
