Below are links to the video format and audio format of the Leader Tips for this week. The content is the same as the text below it. The alternative formats are being made available for the convenience and preference of some of our leaders. Rather than read it, some may wish to watch it on their computer or phone, or listen to it in their car during the week via a bluetooth phone connection with their car stereo. Some may also find it simpler and more convenient to simply subscribe to the podcast once it is set up. Then, the audio or video will be automatically sent to the podcast app on their phone each week.
