Walking Together in Faith – October 25 – 9:15 am
He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort – we get a full measure of that too. –2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Purpose
To provide opportunities for anyone who is working on their own recovery and healing, or anyone who is impacted by their loved one’s journey toward recovery and healing to have a safe, confidential place to share experiences and build hope through community.
These are open meetings meaning that anyone can join at any time.
What to expect
- Devotion followed by a short discussion
- Sharing time
- Theme discussion – each time we meet we will have a theme relevant to the groups purpose
- Ending prayer
Location
Heritage Hall (old fellowship hall)
All are welcome!
