Meetings 2.0


What an awesome meeting last night! Shannon snapped a quick snapshot of our "Machine" exercise, led by Jen and Julie. (Yes, Julie was moving THAT fast! : ) If you missed it, here was our agenda and trust me, you DO NOT want to miss next month. We'll be sharing original monologues from our personal walks with Christ as well as some more fun exercises from Jen and Julie. Hope to see you all there!

Write a short 1-2 minute monologue on one of the following topics:
1.) I know God has a sense of humor because of the time that…..(tell a humorous story of when God taught you a lesson)

Tips:
A.) Keep in mind basic plot structure:
Exposition-inciting moment-rising action-climax, falling action-resolution (lesson learned)
