We just started a session this week. I was not sure how much people would open up online but it went really well. We tried to set the tone by showing vulnerability ourselves as my wife ( co-leader) aa we told our stories about our journey through marriage breakup.

We tried out Zoom Break Out rooms this week. This is a great way to create smaller discussion groups. You can assign who you want to a what is essentially a separate video call. You can then have people return to the main room if you want.

We're drawing to the close of our current season as this week we're on Session Twelve. We have been using Zoom and the sessions have gone very well. The one very positive thing to note is that attendance has been close to 100% in all sessions.
I am thankful to Steve Grissom and his team for tirelessly putting together all what is required to run the classes online. May you all receive blessings in abundance.
