Care + Support

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Groups are a great way to connect with others who are going through the same season of life you are in. But, in-between meetings can be difficult, so we have provided a list of recommended books from authors we trust. They offer words of encouragement from personal life stories, Biblical insight and knowledge, and can be a resource of continued healing and growth on your own time.
