Community Care

Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

As followers of the way of Jesus, servant-hearted healer, we care for others in tangible ways: one-on-one conversations, healing prayer and meditation circles, delivery of meals and care packages in times of need, gifting of prayer shawls and teddy bears, training people to walk alongside each other through life's ups and downs, and offering Advent, Lenten and women's retreats for rest and renewal. This is part of the warmth of this place: where God's love, support, and healing come together to nurture ourselves and this community.

We care because God cares
