Healing and wholeness are at the very heart of God's intention for humanity. Join us as we gather in quiet prayer, music, and scripture, longing for healing and compassion. We seek restoration of mind, body, and spirit. We gather because God calls us to support, hope, and pray with one another as we seek God’s mending.
