I Dare You: Embrace Live with Passion by Joyce Meyer
Everyone is welcome! It is important that you join us in the first three sessions(by the October 12th meeting), to allow the group to develop the safety and comfort it needs to allow for sharing, discussion and prayer. If you are unable to make one of the first three meetings, we ask that you wait to join us when we begin another book in January. In the mean time, please join us at other Pathways events!
Dates for SCC: - Please mark your calendars now.... regular attendance makes as difference in the quality of your experience and that of the group as a whole. Please be consistent as possible,we understand there may be an occasional conflict...but if most of the sessions do not fit your schedule, as much as we will miss you, perhaps waiting for the January SCC would be best.
