God never intended for us to go through these experiences alone. That’s why God has brought us together as a congregation...
and why we have Stephen Ministry.
In moments of sorrow when your heart feels heavy, remember that Psalm 34:18 reassures us that the Lord is intimately close to the brokenhearted, offering comfort and a peace that transcends all understanding, as He gently wraps His loving embrace around those of us who are crushed in spirit.
