Comfort Ministry
Strength from Weakness- Growing through Suffering (My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9). We have started the next phase of our comfort ministry. We will journey together to explore the healing process by growing through suffering and becoming more resilient, so we are better prepared to face suffering in the future.
We will explore and experience deeper levels of healing. Our goal is to help gain skills to connect with others in healthier ways so that the underlying causes of trauma are addressed to find and fulfill our purpose in life. We meet in the Fellowship Hall on Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There is a sign-up sheet for these sessions in outside the church office. If you have any questions, contact Andrea Jones or Sherri Chrisman. Or email Comfortministrybbc@yahoo.com
