As a leader of an After the Boxes Are Unpacked study, every month (except July) you and your team will receive our On the Move email newsletter. These informative newsletters are designed to guide and inspire you as you lead uprooted women through the emotional, spiritual, and practical journey of settling in to a new community. They are also a great way for us to keep you informed about the latest at Just Moved Ministry.

Reach out to the new pastor's wife

Is there a new pastor at your church? Find out how you can best communicate care and acceptance to the new pastor's wife. We asked several pastors' wives to share what has been the most helpful and the most hurtful. Your caring and sensitive response and thoughtful actions may make a difference in her experience of connecting to others and staying long-term.

Thank you for ministering to the uprooted woman

Leaders of After the Boxes Are Unpacked groups are the loving arms of this ministry. We thank God for all of you! We know how hard you work to reach out to women who are new.

JoAnn Smith and Tammy Stone are your partners in ministry and your cheerleaders as you reach out to newcomers. Call, email or send them your questions, comments, thoughts, experiences, and a picture of your group to be featured in our Spotlight!
