Most of us are familiar with Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28 “Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life” (MSG). What would it be like to experience this?

Join us as we explore this question at a Soul Care Day on Wednesday, November 8 before NSG23. We will consider what a healthy soul looks like and then evaluate the current state of our own soul. Through guided practices, time with God, and group processing, we will learn to cultivate our soul’s health and ways to live each day as God’s beloved. Sign up as you register for NSG23.
