Care Night
Fall Series
Tuesday Evenings
Oct 15 – Nov 19
5:30 Dinner | 6:30 Worship | 6:45 Classes
We are made for more than our grief, our hurts, and our shame. God has more for us! This is for you!
The vision of Care Night is to offer a place where we can all come, just as we are, and find comfort and rest in the presence of those around us who walk beside us. We live into this vision by offering a safe place each week where we can come together and be fed, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through gifts of food, worship, and guidance, we begin the journey towards healing. We live into the truth that we are not alone. Everyone is welcome!

Finding Meaning in Grief
Led by Allison Vines, Director of Care
When you experience grief, your world can feel overwhelming. It can be difficult to imagine a future. You feel lost and hopeless. This class will use David Kessler’s book, Finding Meaning in Grief, to explore and begin to understand our unique and personal experiences with grief as we work through loss, releasing hurt and learning to grieve with more love than pain…because love never dies.

This class will take a deep look into understanding what addiction is, the biology of addiction, the emotional path of addiction and resources towards recovery for both the addict and the loved one.
Practicing the Way: The Practice of Solitude

Distraction. We all feel it. We’re bombarded by noise like never before. Jesus has an invitation for us: Step away from it all to be alone with him, for the sake of our souls and the sake of others.
