Another fun recipe from our Executive Chef Level Sponsor Novant Health!

Soup season isn't over just yet! 🥣

This veggie-packed minestrone soup is loaded with colorful vegetables, hearty beans and pasta—all simmered in a rich, flavorful broth. It’s the kind of simple, nourishing recipe that works for busy weeknights and makes great leftovers.

Meet Charlotte! She is one of the first to say yes when we asked if she'd be willing to try something new this summer and honestly, this picture says it all. We are so excited! (Charlotte is also sister to Susan!)

We are launching Community Connections, a small group chat that keeps Shepherd's Center participants connected even when we are not in session. No meetings, no commitments, just a simple way to stay in touch, share events or activities in the area you want to inform others about, and feel a little less like summer is one long quiet stretch.

We are looking for a few more people willing to give it a try for two weeks. That's it. Just two weeks.

Our first gathering to share how to join, and other features is Tuesday June 2nd at 10am at our office, but if you can’t make that time we can arrange for Jennifer to meet with you another time as well.

Interested? Comment below or send us a message and we will get you connected!
