New Leader Training
Each session has a combination of meeting audio and meeting notes, and each meeting after the first session has pre-work, consisting of a reading assignment plus questions for reflection. For each week just complete the content under the heading in the order it occurs, though it would be helpful to look at the meeting notes while listening to the meeting audio.
