This class, led by Stephanie Hipskind is a DVD/discussion class – no homework!
• Men’s Class: Taught by Greg Pittman and based on the book, Habitudes by Dr. Tim Elmore; this class covers part one of a leadership journey that begins with self-leadership.

Starting Monday, October 31, and ending on Sunday, November 6, Cedar Ridge attenders will be challenged to eat on less than $2 a day. 20% of the world lives in poverty and nearly half of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day: two dollars a day for food, housing, school, transportation, medical emergencies, and all other expenses. The $2 a Day Challenge invites you to experience a little of what life is like by eating on less than two dollars a day for one week.

Journal throughout the experience, and at the end of the week, come together with your small group to share what you have learned, what questions have been raised, what you struggled with, and how you felt about the challenge.

The Challenge Has Three Simple Rules:

1. Spend only $2 per day per person on all food and drinks.
2. Only eat what you buy during the week of the challenge – no stocking up the week before!
3. If you spend more than $2 one day, deduct the amount you went over from the next day’s expenses.

Eating basic food like pasta, rice, eggs, potatoes, and beans can help you meet the challenge. Buying in mass quantities or exchanging meals with friends – just be sure to subtract the total you spend on bulk purchase from the rest of the week’s spending.
