Facing Adversity with Patience and Kindness
Life does not always look the way we believe we desire it to be. Experiencing adversity is a common experience for many of us. Often, we face such adversity with resistance rather than the patience and kindness it deserves.
This Sunday, Jean-Marie will explore how facing adversity with patience and kindness can lead to a greater awareness of how these challenges came about in the first place and how we can choose to let them unfold differently in the future.
Join us this Sunday for another opportunity to remember who and What you truly are by engaging in likeminded fellowship with cookies and care.
