The Second Cup initiative is a virtual space where women can tend to their souls rather than simply tending to everyone and everything else. It is an intentional space for connection, inspiration, and encouragement. The initiative is inspired by Jeremiah 31:25 -- For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.
On Thursday evenings (with the exception of holidays) from 7:00 to 8:00pm Eastern, women are invited to join founder Rev. Dr. Michelle Loyd-Paige for a book discussion. But, really, it’s more than just another book discussion. It is a place to come as we are and practice receiving God's love, extending grace to ourselves and others, telling the truth about our lives, and tending to our souls. The books we read together are a catalyst for our conversations, but the real work is the practice of soul care: noticing, naming, receiving, releasing, praying, and learning to live from God's love.
Are you ready for a 2nd cup?
2nd Cup sessions are semi-structured, meaning that there is a plan for the how the evening will flow, but we make room for conversation to go as needed and as led by the Holy Spirit.
What can you expect when you login? An intentional, welcoming, and friendly space for those seeking to connect with a community of soon-to-be-friends; a place for those who desire to be in conversation on matters of life and faith; a non-judgement zone - so bring your questions and your whole self; a place where you can practice living loved; and a place where you can be the you God made up to be. You don’t have to have it all figured out to participate, just time and desire to be present.
