Worship Service:

Feel, Deal, Heal

Devin Shmueli, Director of Family and Community Ministries

Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 10:15am


While recovery is not one-size-fits-all, one thing we can learn from people in recovery - living with behavioral or substance addiction - is that it is necessary for one to lean into complex feelings rather than find unhealthy ways to cope. What does feel, deal, heal mean? Healing starts with feeling.
