As the calendar turned from 2025 to 2026, social media told a shared story: the year behind us was not an easy one.
Personal challenges, news cycles, and global concerns left us feeling worn down.
This morning of reflection and sharing invites participants to consider some practical and spiritual ways to nurture resilience, deepen faith, and live with purpose - when circumstances feel discouraging. Together, we’ll explore realistic tools for staying emotionally and spiritually steady in difficult times, cultivating hope, maintaining balance, and responding to life’s challenges with courage and compassion.
