Hi there:)!
Do you live in/near the Grand Rapids, Michigan Area?
Are you looking to connect with a small group of women for regular Christian Fellowship and Encouragement?
Then join us at the Jolly Lounge!
The location of the “Jolly Lounge” will vary, depending on the date.
All women are welcome (sorry guys 
). Can’t find childcare? Don’t worry – just let me know. We will try as much as possible to accommodate everyone.
The vision, purpose & goals for the Jolly Lounge are very much in line with the Vision of JollyNotes.com – except this time it’s in person, locally 
.
So yes – We relax together, grow together, pray together, share with each other, encourage each other, build godly friendships, laugh with each other, share burdens with each other, rejoice with each other, fellowship together, study God’s word together, learn from each other…. we are there for each other.
The Jolly Lounge will by God’s grace provide a place and time of fellowship and refreshment – meetings will be about once a month.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask…
So think about it, pray about it, and let me know if you’d like to join us!:)!
By the way, if you live too far away to be able to join us at Jolly Lounge, please consider looking for another small group to join. It really doesn’t have to be anything formal. Just make sure you have a small group of people (could be among your existing friends) you can share your ups and downs with, pray with, fellowship with and grow with.
We all need each other! If you can’t think of any suitable group to join, call your church and ask if they have any small groups available. Most churches do. If your church doesn’t have any small groups yet, then please encourage them to get some going. Maybe you could start the first small group in your area !

Thanks for reading – Have a wonderful day!!!
Much Love & Blessings,
Bomi
