Just as I Have Loved You: Practicing Care in the New Year Event Series
We need a minute to try to make sense of 2020 - to grieve what has happened and set our intentions for the future. Join the women of FPC for a short-term, small group series on John 13: 34-35. Listen to interviews with area counselors and pastors, consider scripture passages in-depth and find room for honest conversation.
Groups will gather four times, every other week from January 10th to February 21st. Join a newly forming group or sign up with your existing small group. At registration, select your preferred time slot - morning, mid-day, evening. Zoom sessions will be led by seasoned small group leaders – pastors and congregants.
Let’s practice care for ourselves and each other in 2021.
