How does one stay connected these days? We live in a microwave world where you move so fast just to fit everything in.
Berean Babes was born out of a desire to study the Bible in depth and develop a fellowship connection which went deeper than, “Hi, how are you today?” in passing on a Sunday morning.
The “Babes” get together every Sunday evening and connect to each other as a group. Each one brings an interesting addition to the mix. There are young ladies, middle-aged ladies, and a bit older ladies who converse.
Each day during the week, two of the Babes pray together on the phone. We have a Babe a day, so to speak. This allows for a deeper connection than can be formed in a group setting.
We meet quarterly with our husbands for the Dudes and Babes potluck dinners. During this time we share a family style meal together and then take turns telling everyone why our Dudes mean so much to us. The next gathering, the Dudes tell the Babes. Let me tell you, everyone walks away from these meetings floating high. There is nothing like hearing why you are loved from your better half.
The Babes come together in good times or bad. We join each other at the hospital when a loved one takes ill or gather around to hold the newest bundle of joy. We encourage, comfort, and pray for one another.
The love of God spills over onto the Babes, the love from the Babes spills over into our church, our homes, our community, and our workplaces. Believers coming together in a time of corporate fellowship can and should have lasting effects in the world.

I think you could have done without the little introductory paragraph, with its 2nd person reference.
Consider making this a story, with dialogue--it'd be great to "eavesdrop" on a meeting of the Berean Babes, and get to know some of the babes in person.
