OK, Ladies! I have finally finished filling out all the modules in our New Members Onboarding class! (I've been trying to get it all done today, since we'll be driving to St. Louis tomorrow and I really, really wanted everything to be ready for us to kick it into high gear in the group this week!) When you have a few minutes, please go ahead and click on the New Members START HERE post and complete the onboarding process. And of course, feel free to invite any friends or family members that you think may enjoy our group! I'm so excited to really get started!

I'm pretty happy about a new development in my current ministry journey at Faith Church. For Connect Groups, each of the campuses (well, a few are still needing filled) have their own Connect Group Director to help support their campus' Connect Group leaders. There has never been an Online Connect Group Director, but there is one now! Soon I will have the list of names and contact info of all the online leaders and I will be able to reach out to everyone. (I know some of you in this group lead an online group. You'll hear from me soon!) OK, back to my updates...I just wanted to share my good news with you! 👭🏻

I'm excited to continue our discussion through the chapter in our book, Step One: Set It and Get It! This is technically our third week discussing this chapter and I love that we don't have to be in a hurry to absorb these concepts. (But I am wondering, do you think we'll finish it up today and move on to Step Two next week?) What's your vote? ✏️

(Like this one!) 2nd Saturday 🛍️: This category is open for posting one day per month, on the second Saturday of every month. This category is for sharing any product, business, or service that is either your primary business or a side hustle. (I will provide more details soon in the classroom for how to use this category.) Progress & Updates 🎯: Let us celebrate the "little wins" with you as you post progress on any goal you'd like to share, or a daily task that you accomplished.
