Tuesday Perpetual CZR Step Study 

There will be no COSA Zoom Room Step Study beginning in December. A new study will begin January 7, 2025. Those who would like to join a study in the future are invited to come for fellowship and supplemental topics any week. There will be no formal study on December 24 or 31.

The CZR Perpetual Step Study meets for one hour weekly on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Those joining after the first week of the month are invited to come for fellowship and supplemental topics any week.

This Step Study welcomes new participants every month. Participants will remain in the same breakout room as those who started in the same month for the entire 48-week study. Those who begin the following month will be in their own breakout room. This enables COSAs to join whenever they are ready. COSA topics will be presented every week, and then each new Step Study will begin the first week of the month.

Please register using this form to enable us to send you the Zoom room information. https://forms.gle/vCu8FqJ1kZrAXmoy6
