Fall is just around the corner! We asked several friends on our Lifeway Women team to share some of their favorite activities for fall. Ranging from hosting an apple pie bake-off to knitting a scarf to starting a gratitude journal, we’ve got you covered. So put on a cozy sweater and grab a tasty fall cup of coffee to get started on planning some fun fall activities with your family and friends!
