SUMMARY:Younique Experience - March/April Option
DESCRIPTION:In May/June 2021\, 10 CMBA colleagues attend the first Younique Life Experience Cohort\, a service of theFutureChurch.co  founded by Will Mancini. \nThrough this process\, those ten individuals gained insight into daily habits that could help them with their short-term and long-term goals. They\, with joy\, were able to name who God had called them to be instead of always trying to fit other people’s expectations. They left that Younique Life Experience with the tools to launch the God-given dream He called them to in every area of their lives–health\, family\, work\, and play. \nHere’s the excellent news for you: we’re offering others (Pastors\, Staff\, Lay Leaders) the opportunity to embark on this journey of life discovery and clarity at the significantly discounted rate of $550.00 (typically $2\,450.00 per participant) because of your connection with the CMBA. The price for this experience is exclusively for those within the Columbia Metro Baptist Association of Family Churches. After the January/February dates\, the price will go up. \n  \nHere’s what George Bullard\, Executive Director of the CMBA\, has said about the process: \n“What do I see as a benefit of this training? For the participant\, it offers them the opportunity to explore how God has uniquely called and gifted them. For church staff\, it could be an incredible and intensive staff team building process. For the laity\, it could be a great advanced discipleship process. For pastor and staff church searches\, it could be the ultimate assessment process. It is also great for a pastor or staff continuing education for when they need to get away and evaluate where they are in their ministry. And I am sure people could find other opportunities.” \n  \nIf you or one of your staff or laity would be interested in knowing and clearly articulating the future story that God has for your life\, visit the following link for more information:  Life Younique Experience \nWe are limiting each Life Younique Experience to 10 participants. When the first ten people sign up\, registration will close. \n\nMarch 10th -11th & April 21st – 22nd – Register Now\n\nThank you\, and I look forward to possibly helping you and others in your church gain life-changing clarity for God’s glory!
