Holiday seasons are traditionally filled with hustle, bustle, celebration, and togetherness. But how do we embrace the season when we are navigating grief, loss, or a significant life transition?

Grief changes us. Loss challenges us. Life transitions can leave us wondering what comes next. Yet, even in the uncertainty, God promises to never leave us. God meets us in every season—even the seasons we did not choose and would rather skip.

Your story may have changed, but God has not! You may not understand the season or what comes next, but God does.

Some seasons are heartbreaking and difficult to navigate, but the promises of God to never leave us is absolute! His word tells us in II Corinthians 1:2-4, He is with us and even prepares us to be with each other during difficult seasons.

Please join us for a time of encouragement, faith, hope, and practical tips to help you navigate the holiday season. God will be there, we will be there, and we hope you will be there too!
