​Dear Gentle Lionesses, on Tuesday October 6th from 7-8 PM our classes restart via Zoom.  We hope that you will join with other women to be encouraged during this new book series entitled, "The Unique Woman: Insight and Wisdom to Maximize Your Life".  In our hour together on Tuesday evenings, Shelley Maurice-Maier will lead us as we learn and understand together what it means for us to attain our full potential as a woman and start using the talents and gifts God gave us.  Opportunities abound for women who have the courage to seize them.  It is your responsibility to use the intelligence, talents, abilities, and gifts God has given you.  Please join us for this virtual class series at: zoom.us/j/6700065485

​The Gentle Lion team is heading to DC this week to join other Christians for a national and global day of prayer, Friday September 25th with Jonathan Cahn and Saturday September 26th with Franklin Graham.  More information about these events can be found at: 

1. https://thereturn.org/ (A prayer event with Jonathan Cahn)

As part of our participation, Gentle Lion will be hosting a live Zoom call on Saturday September 26th at zoom.us/j/6700065485 from 9 am to 11 am PDT, while we are praying at The Mall with others, and we want to invite you to join us!  Mark your calendars for this historic event and please join with us and the Body of Christ around the nation these 7 stops: Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, Washington Monument, White House, National Museum of African American History and Culture, National Archives and U.S. Capitol.

​We believe that our time of fellowship is helpful for us to maintain that positive moment-to-moment influence, so your family and the world can respond to the best version of you.
