Attendees will reflect on their experiences, share stories, and express their hopes for the future. We look forward to a meaningful exchange of ideas and a renewed sense of community that will strengthen our life together. Each event will last approximately two hours, and host congregations will provide light refreshments. If you have questions, please reach out to Michael McNeely (501-320-6417) or Chrissy Cavender (501-372-2168). Thank you for contributing your voice to these important discussions.


Blessing Box: Looking for ideas about what to donate for the Blessing Box? Rice Krispie treats, pop tarts, ramen noodles, fruit snacks, granola bars or chips work! These items will go in the Blessing Box, and will also be shared with our Lyon College students when the Care Team makes “snack bags” to pass out monthly. Thank you! 😊
