Find Your Footing This Sunday: Journeys Care Group Meets Oct. 12

Journeys is a monthly care group at Christ United Methodist Church for anyone navigating grief, stress, caregiving, health concerns, job changes, relationship strain or simply a hard season. You’ll find a calm room, kind faces and space to speak or to sit in silence—both are welcome.

  • Times: 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. or 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. (choose either session)
