Dear Friends,

Refine, Refocus, Reset. This was the message delivered by Natosha in the sermon on the First Sunday in Lent. This message spoke directly to me and put my Lenten efforts into words. I had found lately that my procrastination had pulled me away from many of my goals. So for this season, I have given up binge watching tv, as it was my main source of procrastination. In just a short amount of time, I have already witnessed the change refocusing can bring. I wonder how each of you are implementing these actions into your Lenten season and encourage you to reflect upon it today.

As I prepare for my second year in this role and work to develop a program schedule for us, I am asking for your input. I want to know what you all are interested in seeing added to our calendar, what you like and dislike about what we currently do, and any other comments regarding the group. The survey is completely anonymous and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Please provide your input by clicking here!

Well wishes,

Tasia Blair (she/her)
