Read what they're saying about our online study groups

An After the Boxes Are Unpacked study group gets the conversation going about emotional realities, practical ideas, and paths to spiritual growth as you begin a new stage of life in a new town. Going through the study with others who understand what you’re going through can become a lifeline – especially in a Coronavirus world.

Interested in facilitating an online study group? Just Moved gets you started:

• Paulette and JoAnn, your Just Moved Ministry support team, create small groups (4-5 members) made up of women who have contacted us with a desire to participate.
• A study group could also be formed by a facilitator who already knows a woman or women who want to go through the study with her. In this case, we ask that the facilitator let us know of the existence of the group. We want every facilitator to have the advantage of the helpful resources we have available.
• Paulette and JoAnn provide one-on-one phone and email support and encouragement to each facilitator.
• Every facilitator receives an email template that can be used as a guide to initiate email contact with her group members.
• Every facilitator is provided with our 12-page After the Boxes Are Unpacked Facilitator Guidelines for Online Study Groups. This helpful resource answers frequently asked questions and helps ensure an optimal online experience.

• Just Moved Ministry also offers a discount to watch Susan Miller teach the material in 12 video sessions. Study group members can stream a video session prior to gathering online or the facilitator can play the session during the online meeting using screen sharing.
• Dates, times, and the format of the meeting will be determined by each group with the help of their facilitator.

"I think what surprised me the most in my first session was just how quickly the ladies clicked! I was concerned that it would feel sterile without much of a "human touch." I couldn't have been more wrong! There really weren't any awkward pauses. Everyone was very eager to read the text and begin friendships with one another. We weren't talking over each other, everyone seemed comfortable, and everyone seemed to gain encouragement. I absolutely had the best group anyone can imagine. We all cried during our last session. I think the friendships were really timely in their lives and provided a lot of encouragement.  Kudos to Just Moved leadership for keeping the groups small. We are starting a prayer rotation so they can build relationships between meetings." Traci, Facilitator 

"We had our last online class with Traci today. Traci started tearing up and then I did too. She was able to pull herself together, but I struggled. So glad I did not have to talk at the end. Thank you for orchestrating all those details so we could meet. [I’m] working towards being able to go to France next year to the French Open and meeting Amy, [our study group member who lives in France]. Thanks so much!" Heather, online study member

"[Our online study] was very comfortable, they were chatting between themselves when I left the zoom but I left it opened for them. They were setting up a time to talk the next day. It was very warm and interactive. I am sad as I only have 2 weeks left with these ladies and it has been awesome! We have bonded so well. We have decided to meet every other week and just chat for a few minutes after the class is over." Vicky, Facilitator
