Joy, Rose, Kristin and Joel Schuchmann

Well, I believe it is unanimous... Everyone I have talked with who attended our annual CCS Childbirth Educator Workshop on March 31 came away with greater confidence in their roles as educators. We learned about creating a comfortable and safe environment for learning, group dynamics, hooks, using visual aids and learning games/activities, and much more. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at "With Flair Tea Room", everyone took home great gifts, and we made new friends. I am especially excited about the relational connections that were made that day. Even though we were all from different geographical locations (everywhere from Georgia to Central Asia), we all felt like family. I will forever cherish the time spent with you ladies!!!

The next workshop will be the CCS Doula Workshop on Saturday, August 11, 2007, in Virginia Beach, VA. I'm looking forward to another great time!

Since I am writing this on Easter, let me wish you a Happy Resurrection Day!!! Easter has to be the most wonderful day of the year for me! Because of what Jesus Christ did in His life on earth, His horrible death, and miraculous resurrection, I am completely FREE!!! I hope you had an incredible encounter with Christ this Easter and that you are experiencing the abundant life He purchased for you!

Love and blessings,
Kristin
