It's mid-August! Can you believe the summer is winding down and it's almost time for school to start and our co-ops to begin meeting again? That means it's time to be thinking about your first day of your community meeting together! The first couple weeks will set the tone for your community, so it is important to try to have a successful start. You will have new people joining you, so we thought it would be fun today to give you some ideas of great ice breakers you can do to kick off your first day of class. If you, as a listener, have more ideas, please post them in our facebook group.

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! – Psalm 32:11
