Dear Friends,
I have been talking with Pastor Schmeling, whether to gather together again for L.I.F.T. He felt I should consult with you, personally. I have contacted a few of you, to get ideas as to where we are, with all of this.  The general consensus is this---WAIT until Spring!!!
The chosen Study will be--"Bad Girls of the Bible", by  Liz Curtis Higgs. We have enjoyed her work, previously.  The tentative plan would be to start April 10th (the week after Easter).  The book has 10 chapters.  We would divide our Study into 5 sessions in the Spring.  God-willing, we would complete the other 5, in the Fall of 2021.

Spring Dates--
April 10, 2021
April 24, 2021
May 8, 2021
May 22, 2021
June 5, 2021
  
Fall Dates---
September 11, 2021
September 25, 2021
October 9, 2021
October 23, 2021
November 6, 2021
 
The decision to divide the book into two studies, was related to Summer vacations,  and Winter weather issues. 
  
I miss you all, and hope to hear from each of you, regarding these tentative plans.  How do they sound to you?  I look forward to catching up with you.
You can call me at --651-207-8387  
 
 We would have liked to start back with L.I.F.T. this Fall--but with the Corona Virus--too many negative issues.  Just the thought of wearing a mask through an hour and a half Study, did not thrill any of us.  We do not want anyone to catch the virus due to our meeting together. How can we get together without a hug or two?  
 
While we live through all these trying times--it is so AWESOME knowing--"It is well with my soul."    Thank you Jesus!!!
 
Blessings and love,  Joy 

L.I.FT. is open to all ladies - members & Friends!
