Katrina Wylie here, your study leader for the rest of Week 1. If you haven’t yet, you can learn a bit about all your leaders here. I’m excited to get to know you more in the comments, too!

My family and I pick a word and verse to focus on each year. For 2020, we chose “connect” and Genesis 2:18. Well, guess what? As I followed the nudge to go back to that activity I skipped, I was led to that verse!

Like we learned in Foundations Week and yesterday’s bookwork, God is a God of good beginnings. He has a good beginning planned for you, including this study, so don’t ignore those promptings!
Today, starting on page 15, we’re working through:
I’m in it with you,
Kat
