Zoom

Dates: 6/15, 6/29, 7/6, 7/27, 8/3, 8/17, 8/31, 9/14

Everyday we add a new page to our book of life stories and these stories will leave a great mark. Your shining seasons and most challenging moments carry on and will teach onward generations. This group will come together over 8 sessions to share and record life stories from all the stages of life into a keepsake book. Participants will be provided with a book to write down stories, paste pictures and keepsakes, etc. The possibilities are endless! Don't like to write or scrapbook? That is okay too! Just come to share with the rest of the group.

Session 2: Childhood
Session 3: Adolescence
Session 4: Young Adulthood
