Thank you!

The
first big news is that on June 14 about sixty of us had our first
preview gathering!  Next week, expect a special newsletter about the
event. For information on July 26 and August 23 preview sessions.

Secondly,
after four months of searching, processing a number of applications,
and conducting interviews, we have found our three co-leaders!

After
the last phone call of this exhilarting and exhausting process, I went
to my bedroom/office, sat down and cried. They were tears of happiness
and gratitude to God. And to you.

Their names are Jill, Bowie,
and Rabia–yes, all women! Click below to read their bios, see their
pictures, sense their dreams. They are responsible for guiding,
nurturing, and growing individual members and our community as a
whole.  Below is a picture taken in my apartment on May 28, 2008, when
three of them met for the very first time.
