The Second Cup initiative is all about creating virtual spaces 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 designated Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00pm Eastern, friends of Preach Sista! are invited to gather over Zoom with founder Michelle Loyd-Paige to talk about life and faith. The topics of our gatherings range from the books we are reading to self-care practices to questions of faith and everything in between. Our conversations are lively, welcoming, and encouraging. Are you ready for a 2nd cup?
2nd Cup sessions are semi-structured, meaning that I have a plan for the how the evening will flow, but I 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 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; 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.
Meetings are generally topical. We talk about books or book inspired topics. I look forward to connecting with you soon.”
