'Tis The Season To Be...
2022-12-08 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | A Place 4 Friends, 212 Edgewood Road NW, Cedar Rapids, IA, 52405, United States
We know what the Christmas carol says, “‘Tis the season to be…jolly.” Right??
We know this, yet why is the Christmas season not always this way? Why is it filled with stress, busyness, and grief so often instead? Why is it sometimes anything–and everything–but jolly?
Well, we have a choice in the matter, and a we are on a mission to change that this year. We are embracing this season in an entirely new way! A way that allows space for some jolly! Want to join us in this mission?
Come to our next Real Encouragement LIVE! to prepare your heart for the holiday!
‘Tis the season to be…
Yes, jolly!
Find out how and why this matters, receive timely encouragement, an infusion of hope, and connection with other women who desire a wonderful holiday season like you.
Receive encouragement for your real life LIVE!
Because encouragement matters in this life.
God offers us help and hope, and as we gather together, we will learn His truths about this season and why it all matters. We will be reminded of how to embrace this season with renewed awe and wonder, instead of with all the glitter and tinsel the world offers. It’s going to be a great evening together, and you’ll leave feeling uplifted, empowered, and encouraged.
You will also enjoy:

fellowship with other women like you who desire connection
Biblical teaching and truth
time to laugh, smile, and take a breath
taking time for you, to further equip you for this adventure of life
an abundance of festive treats and snacks

Come join us!
Tickets and additional details are below.

Why Am I So Distracted?

Do you ever feel like you’re consistently so distracted and can’t stay focused?
Maybe you feel like you keep spinning your wheels, but you’re not getting anywhere?
Or maybe you feel like life is passing you by, and you don’t understand why?
And you wonder…
Why am I so distracted??
Well, hang in there, because even when we feel like any of these, we still have hope. Even though we live in a distraction-filled world, we don’t have to live so distracted.
This is the subject of our next Bring Your Own Bible and Bestie event!

Today Is for Living Abundantly
2022-06-27 18:30 - 20:30 | The Woodbridge Building, 501 Front Drive, Toddville, IA, United States
Today is a gift.
And, today is all we’ve got.
Yesterday is passed, and tomorrow isn’t here yet.
God gives us each day to live it abundantly. But some days we’re distracted and discouraged. Some days we are weary and worn out. And some days we wonder if anything we’re doing is making any sort of difference in this world.
Some days we are either living in the past, or we’re looking toward the future. Consequently, we miss what’s happening right in front of us. So, how do we live in the moment right now?
We want to stay present, we do! But that can be easier said than done, right? Then, how do we make the most of today? How do we live it–and every day–abundantly? How do we embrace each moment we are given?
This is the subject of our next Bring Your Own Bible and Bestie event!
And you’re invited! Receive encouragement for your real life LIVE!
We’ll get a chance to encourage one another while looking at what God has to say about today and how we can live abundantly through His grace. We will have a great time together, and you’ll leave feeling uplifted, empowered, and encouraged.

Our Thoughts
2022-05-02 18:30 - 20:30 | The Woodbridge Building, 501 Front Drive, Toddville, IA, United States
Our thoughts… are they helpful or hurtful?

God gave us the amazing ability to think, to reason, and to ponder. He formed our brains amazingly! So much so, our thoughts are incredibly powerful. We know our thoughts have the ability to influence our words, our attitudes, and our actions. But, they also can affect health, our outlook on life, how we feel about ourselves and others, and how we spend our time. Oftentimes, however, we don’t even think about our thoughts. (That’s a strange thought in itself.) We just think what we think, right? So, since our thoughts are powerful, it stands to reason that what we think does matter.

Are our thoughts helpful or hurtful?

This is the subject of our next Bring Your Own Bible and Bestie event! And you’re invited!

We’ll get a chance to encourage one another while looking at what God has to say about our thoughts. I promise we’ll have a great time together! You’ll leave uplifted, empowered, and encouraged. You will enjoy:

Fellowship with other women like you who desire connection
Biblical teaching and truth
Time to laugh, smile, and take a breath
Taking time for you, to further equip you for this adventure of life

Come join us!
We will not have a meal at this event, but we will have snacks. We will no longer be able to bring our own beverages. Bottled water, however, is okay to bring.
