Session 12:
Do a review of all the course materials, reflections, and notes. In the process, enjoy yourself and the journey you've taken with us and God. Also, make sure you understand the content and how it plays out in our lives. Take note of where you want to explore more. Take note of any questions.
Then, compose a one-page reflection to send the rest of the class. The one-page reflection could be anything: it could be your greatest takeaway, a summary of your combined learning, your experience around ___such-and-such___, a newfound thing for you to explore with God. It should be something that reflects your experience, and if so, it will inherently be a blessing to others.
