I find summers equal parts restorative and overwhelming! While gaining extra time and making memories with family is wonderful, summer often shifts our regular daily schedules and routines due to travel, missions, school breaks, etc. This can mean Church, worship & even our faith looks different over the summer. For me, in the past I have felt a drought in my daily faith practices, I often return from summer feeling further from God than I want to. Amid the summer chaos, I intentionally set aside a short daily period for dedicated reading or listening to an audiobook. So why not let that reading be inspiring, uplifting and faith-centered? If you feel similarly I’d love for you to join me in a "faith lifting" Women's Summer Reading Group: The FaithLift.
From May 1st through August 31st, we will read two Christian books written by female champions of faith: I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer and Holier Than Thou: how God's holiness helps us trust him by Jackie Hill Perry. We will read Priscilla's book over May & June, and Jackie’s book over July & August. I will send an optional reading guide/timeline plan, along with monthly prayer and reflection points. We will then have two optional virtual meetings to discuss each book separately: Monday, June 29th, and Monday, August 31st, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM. Hopefully, these two meetings can be scheduled during a lunchbreak, child quiet-time or a dedicated you moment in the midst of the day!
