Letter to the Arizona Branch from Arizona Branch Senior Coordinator, Jeff Looker:
GCG is tomorrow
March 28th from 3-5 pm!
at the COTL community center.
You can also go online www.cityofthelord.org under the password-protected Member's Access tab - to view the Livestream.
(or the Zoom Link below to participate in the discussion and watch the livestream)
The second hour will be a talk by Jeff Looker on" Loyalty "
(from Christian Personal Relationships series)
(Formation district is not meeting separately- we are all meeting together the second hour for the teaching)
Due to the widespread availability of Covid vaccinations, the dramatic decrease in new cases statewide, and Governor Ducey rescinding the statewide mask mandate on 3/25, masks are optional at gatherings, at the discretion of the member. Please respect other members who wish to social distance and wear masks. If you feel compromised, are ill, or vulnerable to getting the virus, please attend via the live stream available on Zoom:
There will be online discussion groups after the talk via this link (as we had at convocation). If you are attending on Zoom, remember the discussion is an essential part of the gathering. Please plan to attend the entire online GCG, including the Zoom discussion.
CHILDCARE WILL BE PROVIDED
For the safety of our children, members need to be up to date with their Safe Environment training to use childcare services.
RSVP BY Wednesday, March 24th
Contact Jeanne LeBeau if you have any questions.

(Update on Kevin Moriarty. Brother to Robert Moriarty, Jeanne LeBeau & Mary Hoyt. Faith is Kevin's occupational therapist)
Faith said that when Kevin started with them one month ago it took 3 therapists to lift him into bed and that Kevin was too weak to complete the initial evaluation. Faith was talking about the dramatic differences in Kevin in this relatively short time. Faith also noted that Kevin is doing things they never expected in ways they do not typically see.
For example, Kevin can move his thumb and pointer finger, typically the finger can only move after the shoulder and bicep are activated and neither of those groups of muscles was activated when he was moving his fingers. Faith said that Kevin’s recovery is so atypical that the therapy team regroups every morning because Kevin typically develops new skills overnight.
Kevin’s ability to walk has improved in the past 2 weeks. The walking is still awkward and slow and Kevin is completely exhausted after about 20-40 feet but Kevin can walk holding onto an arm rail.
Of course, Kevin remains deeply impaired from the strokes but he is accomplishing things no one expected. I am certain Kevin's improvement is in no small part due to all of the support, love, concern, and continuous prayers that he is receiving.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers
