Do you have hurts, hang-ups, or habits that get in the way of your happiness? 🕊️
We’ve all been there. Whether it’s a past wound, a current struggle, or a habit that feels impossible to break, you don’t have to carry it alone.
Faith Lutheran Church is excited to announce our new “Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits” Recovery Support Group starting April 6th.
This is a "large umbrella" group designed to help with a limitless number of issues. We combine biblically-based healing with proven strategies like:
âś… 12-Step Recovery & Celebrate Recovery
âś… Cognitive & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
âś… Mindfulness & Fellowship
The Secret to Happiness: When we stop wasting time fixing the blame, we have more energy to fix the problem. That’s when the healing power of Christ can truly begin working in our minds, wills, and emotions.
