Our daily "Conscious Contact" meditation and prayer fellowship runs from 6:30 AM until the start of the regular meeting (same Zoom ID and password). Reading excerpts from the Big Book and Twelve and Twelve, we ask God to direct our thinking and conclude with any prayer intentions we have for the day.

How can we properly "Carry the Message" unless we know what the AA message is?
