Some days carry more weight than others: grief, caregiving, illness, loneliness, life transitions, or meaningful anniversaries. If you are walking through a tender season, you are invited to share a Tender Moment HERE. You are invited to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. Members of our pastoral staff, congregational care and wellness ministry teams will gently hold you in prayer and follow up with you as needed, so you do not have to carry your tender moment alone.
