Meeting Journal with Attendance

We invite those of you who have permission to take attendance in the Soldier Portal app to go a step further and submit journal entries and photos capturing the essence of our meetings. By sharing the interesting aspects of our gatherings and group dynamics that make them so special, we can showcase the unique atmosphere, deep sense of community, and genuine love and care for one another. Let your journal entries and photos be a testament to why others would love to join this group, inspiring them to experience the incredible work God is doing in our midst.

Your journal entries will inspire and encourage others, providing them with a glimpse into the transformative power of our gatherings and how God is touching, healing, growing, and prospering our members. Likewise, photos will capture those real-life moments and interactions, authentically reflecting our group’s joy, unity, and shared experiences. These visual reminders will foster a more profound connection among group members and help newcomers envision themselves as part of our community.

So, if you have permission to take attendance in the Soldier Portal web app, we encourage you to seize the opportunity to contribute journal entries and photos to any of our meetings. Together, let us create vibrant and captivating documentation of our journey, highlighting the extraordinary work of God and inviting others to join us on this incredible path of faith.

The journal entries are not shown in the Soldier app at this time. However, you may submit them for use with the Women’s Reporter and other reporting and communications efforts.
