We took part in a powerful Mens ministry event entitled “LEGACY
CIRCLE OF CHAMPIONS Caregivers”. This event explicitly poured out the blessings of its mission…to uplift and inspire those men that are caregivers. An amazing time of sharing, connecting, and healing. To coin our ICB phrase, “Iron sharpened Iron”.🙏🏾

ICB Jersey Disciples kept the momentum going, riding high off the energy of the Grand Rising Kickoff Breakfast with a follow-up breakfast of our own on January 31 at Omega Diner.

This was our 1st NJD Community Meeting of 2026, centered on the theme: Goal Setting for 2026.

We were led through a hands-on goal-setting workshop by our sisters, who challenged us to “Straighten Up!” and get focused, disciplined, and intentional about the year ahead. Thank you Loni Mendez for the workshop and your 10-Day journal the we worked through to set our goals with clarity and purpose.

Faith. Fellowship. Forward motion.
2026 is already taking shape.
