"LOVE FIERCELY" SERIES DISCUSSION GROUP: What is the capacity of your heart to receive love from God and from others? Many of us have had experiences that left us wounded, which affected our capacity to love God and others fully and fiercely. As a practical engagement to the "Love Fiercely" series, join this discussion group for an opportunity to talk about matters of the heart, hear others share about their experiences, find normalization and encouragement in this transformational process, get resources, and be a part of a rich, facilitated dialogue under the expert guidance of Kate O'Sullivan (MFT). We'll be meeting this coming Sun., Aug. 25, at 11 a.m. in the Lower Auditorium, where we will cultivate our hearts and minds to love God and others more fully.
