Navigating the Darkness of Depression

As you facilitate discussion this week, focus more on getting everyone sharing than getting through the questions.

If someone is struggling, take time to listen to them, and restrain from giving much advice. Let them feel heard.

If you encounter someone considering self-harm, please call:

• The national crisis hotline is: 988

• The local crisis hotline: 585-275-8686

Reach out to your Coach or Campus Pastor for further support.

God's Purpose in Trials

This is the first week of our new sermon series, “When Life Hits Hard.”

Community Group discussions are great, but healthy groups go beyond discussions, they provide care for each other.

Make sure to go beyond sermon discussion and reach out, care for, and pray for your group members this week when they share hardships they are going through.

Set aside some time to pray each morning, or consider having group members choose a prayer partner to connect with during the week.
